Hello. I'm definitely into my winter boat tinkering and have decided to upgrade my jib winches on my E29 from the 4" that I believe are the original Barlow to 5" stainless Barient winches, mostly because the Barlows are just plain wore out. The port side winch is easy to deal with but the starboard side is inaccessible. They used threaded inserts on that side. I am considering cutting an access port adjacent in the cockpit and covering with some sort of nice hatch cover. Before I do this I wanted to get any feedback that might be a better way of addressing.
