The Lewmar part # for the plastic washers is 15000684. When I called them last year there was doubt as to whether any of these parts were still available. After a few days they called back and said they located a few and would send them to me. However I was not able to get them to fit and ended up using half of a circlip. At the time I was going through circlips at an amazing rate so I ordered 20 of them. Since I stuck the half clip under the retaining oneI have only had one peel off in a season and a half. It is a little tricky to get the half clip under the full one. I found it easiest to put the full one on and then work the half one under it instead of trying to do it in the other order. The half clip does not fit in the grove on the spindle. I did rebuild my winches since then and found the collets that hold the spindle in place to be worn and I think that is the source of the excess play that seems to cause the problems with the retaining clips. Unfortunately, these collets, part # 15001430, are not in the spare kits they sell now. I plan to order some from them to install during the off season. I will try to attach the PDF schematic of the winches I found on the Lewmar site to this post. If that does not work it is pretty straight forward to find it on their site.
