Pawls and springs get a light coating of oil.

Everything else gets brushed with a water resistant grease such as
lubriplate 130. Use sparingly.

Assuming your pawls are in good shape, you
could argue about where to use grease and
where to use oil and what type. Most people
would agree the key word is with repsect to
the application of lubricants opjn winches
is to apply lubricants sparingly.

1 point to you Marc
