Winches Function Easier and Last Longer With Liqui Moly

Liqui Moly

June 4, 2020

Dirty winches make grinding sheets and halyards harder than necessary. Cleaning even the simplest single-speed model is a time-consuming task that should be done at least seasonally. That’s why it pays to use only a top-quality lubricant like LIQUI MOLY Marine Winch Grease. Specifically formulated for sailing, it delivers the ultimate in wear protection with minimal friction.

  • Made in Germany, synthetic LIQUI MOLY Marine Winch Grease contains PTFE solid lubricants developed for all winching and hoisting activities. It’s resistant to seawater and freshwater, with excellent adhesive properties. The formula doesn’t contain resins or acids, so it’s safe for the environment.

    Marine Winch Grease is ideal for standard and self-tailing manual and electric winches. Its unique properties are equally effective on non-ferrous metal-to-metal and plastic-to-metal pairings. Designed for extreme conditions, it has an operating temperature of -95° to 302° F.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
