Lewmar Barient Pawl Spring Kit

The Lewmar Barient Pawl Spring Kit is a precision replacement component designed for owners and technicians maintaining small Barient winch systems. These springs are critical wear items that deteriorate over time and heavy use, directly affecting winch engagement, load holding, and safety. Whether you're servicing marine winch equipment or restoring a vintage system, having quality pawl springs on hand ensures reliable operation and prevents downtime during critical hauling operations.

Each kit contains ten individual 8mm pawl springs engineered to meet Lewmar's exacting standards for consistent spring tension and fatigue resistance. Pawl springs function as mechanical return elements that disengage the ratcheting pawl mechanism when you release winch load, allowing smooth manual operation. These 8mm springs are manufactured to precise tolerances to maintain proper spring rate—too weak and the pawl sticks in engagement; too stiff and load control becomes difficult. The compact 2 x 4 inch package contains enough springs for multiple repair cycles or system rebuilds, making this kit economical for fleet maintenance or professional service shops.

This kit is specifically compatible with Barient winch models that use the 8mm spring design—verification against your exact winch specification is recommended before ordering. Professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts performing routine winch service or troubleshooting sticking pawls will find this replacement set indispensable. Installation typically involves disassembling the winch head, replacing fatigued springs with fresh units from this kit, and reassembling with proper torque specifications. Keeping spare pawl springs in your shop inventory ensures you can complete winch repairs without extended lead times.
