Lookin at some winch options here. I may be looking for a new or 2 new primary's. One has a worn (scored shaft) and rattles a bit when taking up sheet slack real fast. I noticed the scoreing when servicing last year and have just put up with it's noisey fuction until last weekend when it almost seemed to stick or seeze a few times with some real ugly noises. I will pull the drum tonight and inspect but am afraid of what I will problably find. Perhaps lack of maintenance from a PO has caused this but who knows.
The other winch sounds and works just fine and appeared to be in great condition when I had it apart last year.
So.... thinking the worst case, time to spend the big $$! It would be great to find another used but functional Barient ST27 to match however the chance of that is probably slim at best. Hate the thought of what I may go through for the installation of new winches.
I appears from previous threads here that Anderson's may have the quality that we should be getting.
Any feedback on this would be helpful. Thanks,
