Rule Winch Parts

[Crusty Chief]

I decided that my winches that are used to load and unload the dingy need to be cleaned up and repainted. They also needed a few parts repaired and or replaced. Because Rule quit making these winches back in 2009 I thought I might end up fabricating parts myself or maybe having to replace them with different winchs.
Got lucky with a Goggle search and found this outfit. Rulewinchparts.com
Keith responded quickly and parts needed are on the way, all with 24 hours.
So if you have Rule winches on your boat, might want to contact them.

Thanks, I have a rule winch inside of my davits.

Received my parts today and very happy I won't be in the fabrication mode.

Hmmm. They sell the motor only with a core charge. So the "brushes" aren't sold separately. FWIW, I found an alternator shop that will rebuild the motors, if necessary.

Is Rule Winch parts still in business? I can’t get them to answer my request.

Don't depend simply on Email or contact through a website.
If a phone number is listed call them.
I've had success using the net to get the phone # and then using it.

No phone number listed, and can’t find one on the internet. This forum has messages that folks have used them in the past , but several years ago. Maybe out of business?

 

[Crusty Chief]

Well, it was almost 7 years ago. Time fly’s.

Sounds like they are gone.
