I took apart my primary winches this evening (they have been sitting idle in the corner for 4 years) and found that several of the pawls were ground up and need replacement.
The problem is that I am finding zero info on the winches on the interwebs. The only labeling on them is MSK on the top of the winch. They are 2 speed non-self tailing and 5.5 inches tall and 6 inches diameter at the base.
Does anyone know anything about these types of winches and specifically if pawls and springs are interchangable with other makers?

Re: Winch pawls
If there is enough left to compare, take the old pawls to West Marine and compare to whatever winch repair kits that they have on hand. They are generally bubble pack of some sort, and the parts are highly visible.

Re: Winch pawls
Good plan, I'm headed up to coastal Maine next week for vacation and will hit up some of the local chandleries and West Marine. Of the 8 pawls in the 2 winches there are only 2 good ones left. I'll make sure I bring one of them along.
