Installation: Replacing a Winch Cable (1983–2000 System)
Safety: Release the dolly-wheel jack clamp and lower the camper front to gain clearance at the back before starting.
- Era check: this procedure is for the 1983–2000 system — a winch with FOUR cables and turnbuckles. If your Starcraft has a tongue-mounted winch with ONE cable to a 4-way yoke, use the 1982-and-older guide instead.
- Backwind the winch until all tension is removed and no cable is wrapped on the drum.
- Loosen the drive-shaft retaining collar set screw and slide the shaft left until it clears the main-beam bushing (file off any burr).
- Remove the two rear winch-plate bolts to drop the plate for access (remove the front bolts too if needed).
- Remove the set screw holding the ball end of the old cable in the drum; disconnect the turnbuckle and eyebolt without twisting the cables; thread the old cable out.
- Thread the new cable in place and fasten the ball end in the drum with the allen set screw — use 242 Loc-Tite and leave 1/16" of thread showing outside the drum.
- Refasten the winch plate (torque the four bolts to 11 ft/lbs); slide the shaft over until the gears mesh, leaving 1/32" of end play; lock the retaining collar.
- Screw the eyebolt into the turnbuckle until 2–3 threads show on the inside. Do not twist or cross the cables. Do not tighten the jamb nut yet.
- Adjust the roof height following the Winch section of the guide, then tighten the jamb nuts.
