how thick were those washers?

The ones they sent me are thick, maybe 3/32"???

I can get them in there but the winch becomes tight and does not spin feely.

BTW,

Pete from Florida Rigging is convinced that it has a lot to do with the removal of the jib turning blocks. The winch needs to be raised up and rotated so the drive gear is where the line comes on the drum. Since the sheet used to come from aft the gears are on the opposite side.

I am going to try this, and look for thinner plastic washers at places like Mcmaster Carr

I went through about 12 this year
