[alberg30] Corrosion

[Guy Lalonde]

About winches.

Usually minimum size recommended for a 30 footer is around 28 (28 to 1 ratio). If the winch islands are the same size on the older A30 models as the newer A30 models, you should be able to fit up to a 40.

Go for 2 speed, self-tailing. You won't regret it.

However they ain't cheap and very hard to find in the used market (most of the used ones are non self-tailers being sold by folks who upgraded to self-tailers).

If you really have a lot of money to put into this, go for stainless steel Andersen winches. I know they are out of my league.

  On my recently bought Alberg 30, all the hardware is corroded to the point of being green.  Any suggestion as to how to clean it up.  So far I have had to sand it down which doesn't leave it looking to good.  Also, I'm thinking of getting new winches, any suggestions.  The ones on the boat seem to be bigger than needed.  The base is 5.5 inches and the drum is 3.5 inches.
