Sailing Winches

The winch sailing boat owners order most often is a like-for-like replacement, and the fastest way to get it right is the model number stamped on the drum. It tells you the size, speed and base footprint your new sailing winch has to match. Upgrading instead? Go by size number. This category runs from #15 to #50, and the higher the number, the more load it pulls. Lewmar, Harken, Ronstan, Andersen and Karver are all in stock, with handles and service parts to match.

What Should You Check Before You Order?

• Match a replacement to the model number on the drum, not drum diameter alone.
• Order jaw kits, feeder arms and bearing kits by that same number. They fit specific winch ranges only.
• Single-handing? A locking handle stays put mid-grind.
• Keep spare pawls and winch grease aboard for servicing.
• Bed new winch bases with a sealant from our marine caulking and adhesives range.
