[Public-List] New Winches

[Chris Martin]

 Thanks. I pulled the trigger on a pair of Lewmar 30's. I'll see if I have a lunch hook or new winches in a few days.
Thanks again all
Chris

The best way to get inexpensive winches is to haunt Bacons. Be prepared to grab them as soon as they show up there

 Thanks for the quick replies, this place is great!
My boat could be a floating museum, it has a weird lever winch on the mast and 2 also odd (cool?) winches in the cockpit. Its time to get something a bit more modern, so ~30 yrs old is an upgrade. :)
Andersens are really beautiful just not in the budget. I've realized if I wait for the budget to work I might never get something. So for now its function over form. 

I'll see if I can find something a little bigger but it seems like I'm in the ballpark.
Thank you

 Hello again…
I should have asked… if you’re thinking of the 25’s for halyards or spinnaker gear, then they’re perfect. It’s as genoa sheet winches that they’d be minimal with regard to strength.

 Hi all
I'm looking to upgrade what seem like the original winches on my boat. I found a set of used Lewmar 25's, good idea? I figure I'm not the first one to do this. Anyone have a good/decent set taking up space? While I'd love a new shiny set they arent in the budget, whats the right size and/or model?
Thanks!
Chris
