Title: LEWMAR Ocean Series Self-Tailing Winches
Post by: W Jones on April 03, 2006, 10:02:40 AM
Is anyone interested in a new pair of Lewmar 16 self tailing single speed winches. I should be getting a set in the next week or so. I was planning on using them but might just pass them on. They will be $700 + shipping. This is over $300 less than West Marines price.

I don't get to a computer except for Sundays & Mondays so if you email me or post a reply here be patient.

If this is $700 for the pair, consider them sold.

Walter,

  I recieved the winches.  They are gonna be great! 

Of course it does add another project to the list.   ;D  I will be sure to post pictures once they are installed.

  I appreciate your offering these up, and look forward to hearing more from you here.

Well, you see my First Mate's reaction.   ;D

  She loved them from the moment we got onboard 'Ariel Spirit' who had a similar pair (those where 14's).

Well, 4 years later we have yet to even open them up for greasing... they are working great!  So, while they may
not be billed as 'maintenance free' they work fine for at least that long with ZERO maintenance.

  Smooth, holdthe line well, great gear... would happily buy them again.
