[Public-List] What's the secret to removing this old winch?

[Brian Hofler]

I had the same ephipemy last year when I replaced the origninal winches with
Harken ST32's. I confess I tried the screwdriver at first but once picked up
the handle it seemed as if the "seas had parted". Sort of a Charles Heston
moment eh? Anyway I moved the old winches to the aft pads for aesthetics
more than anything else...

Gord-

That's very funny.

When I had to remove one of those winches from my mast, I did not have such
good 'planet of the apes' insight as you.

I applied the 'shipyard solution': Vise Grips, A huge screwdriver, and a
hammer.

It worked, but it was not pretty. And the winch was trashed.

Later,

J
