[Public-List] New Winches

[Wes Gardner]

This was the best deal I could find from a couple of years ago...Lewmar Evo 40 STs, 1.9. 5.8 gear ratios Minney's Yacht Surplus $1237 delivered! 02.2016

I think they changed a few years ago how they decided on the number system power ratio vs actual gear ratio or some such...the point is, the older numbers DO NOT align with the new number system.

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?
