What kind of winch handle do you need?

Yours predate my familiarity with that style but I think they might be Merriman or Wilcox Crittenden but can be another brand too. Others on this list will know for sure. I'll bet Loren can help, he's older than me. ; - ) You'll have to search for a handle that looks like this one currently on eBay #140221825587. That's NOT the one you need, but the one you need will be bronze and look similar. I see them from time to time on eBay so be patient and search for "winch handle" every once in a while and one will eventually pop up. In the meantime, measure the slot so you'll know what you need and email the seller when you find one. Good luck, Glyn Judson, E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey,CA.

ok, I finally got a chance to drop by and measure...the winch is:
3.5" across the top ( edge to edge ) the slot is .5" tall, 1.5" wide...
