The drums on my Lewmar 43's are starting to show their age. The bronze is beginning to show through the chrome......anyone out there ever had their drums re-chromed?? Thanks in advance,

Re-chrome
I don't have direct experience but a friend recently found a local shop to do the winch drums and other winch parts ... this particular shop had some experience with winches and I think the charges were pretty reasonable ... on the order of $75 each if I recall correctly. Of course, he delivered them to the shop and picked them up again.
He was quite satisfied with the result. If you like I can try to find the name and phone number of the shop in the Tampa-St Pete area of Florida.

If you wait a bit I'm sure Glyn will sign on and tell you how to get them de-chromed so none of the bronze will be obscured by that pesky chrome.

Chrome? We don't need no stinkin' chrome on our winches!
Now, now Sven, be nice or I'll pour all the chrome I had taken off on your drop board hinges. Glyn

, but yes, it's just standard plating stuff, like your old Chevy's bumper. Now, as far as your auto having a motorcycle frame as part of its assembly....:eek:

Sorry for the belated reply.....If you could provide the info for the shop in St. Pete it would be most appreciated....the cheapest $ I have been able to find is $225 each. It could save me several bucks even with the shipping.
Thanks again
