Warn Winches
Once i got home i checked all of the electrical and i had power all the way up to the winch so i new that was the problem. I removed the motor and then the planetary gears on the motor side (the reason i did this is because some wise engineer at warn decided to put nuts on the ends of the bolts holding the motor on, so once you remove those bolts the nuts fall down inside the gear case) i found that the motor and gears were saturated with water i was not impressed to say the least, once i blew all the water out and greased it it seemed to work fine. I also found that they do not use any ball bearings but brass bushings

Warn Winches
I've run my Warn 2.5 while submerged with no problems, but I've only done that a couple times. I've been told that after you do that you should power the cable in and out a couple of times to get the thing hot and hopefully drive off any water.
I would also imagine that if you dunk the thing much, and particularly if you run it while submerged, you should pull it apart for cleaning and fresh grease (special stuff) frequently.
On the Rincon I'm waiting for the XT30 to be released (the synthetic line one that comes with the wireless remote control).
