CJ Capstans repair service

12/07/2025

Advertising for a friend, c size 24v, you won't find one in much better condition. Very light use, it was used to recover a tender to its davits. Asking price is £700, I can pass on details of anyone interested.

Anyone got a 12v B size they want to part with?
Buyer lined up looking for one and could pass on details.

Cheers

Time to let a couple of CJs find a new home. The smaller C size is 12v, it's had a new set of gears and bearings and would suit a boat around 23ft.

The larger A size is 24v, only done one season on a south coast charter boat, one of the last CJ's made by Colin before he retired. Webs were ground off by him to make it easier to slip the rope if needed. Internally all gears look mint, motor looks in good shape, no untoward noises when run up.

contact me via 07801 285499 for any further info.

Remember guys, I'll buy unwanted or broken CJ's as well as just doing repairs.

Making progress on the latest batch in for repair 3 down 2 to go. A right mixture of destroyed gears, bent pins, exploded bearings, a frazzled motor or two.

Never seen one like this before. I'm assuming this was probably hydraulically driven. It's not very well though, couple of gears and bearings to replace. Then to source a motor and fabricate driveplate. This one could take a while.

Another one back up and running, new motor converted from 12V to 24V, couple of gears reworked and a couple of bearings replaced. Hopefully a good few years of trouble free hauling.

Another one in for a bit of TLC.

Bearing collapsed allowing needle rollers to get in amongst the gears. New gear required for this one, no chance of saving it.

That's not good.
