Hello,
I ordered new winches for my 1985 Hunter 34. I got two Lewmar EVO 40STs to replace the two aft most winches that work the jib sheets. For the two smaller cabin top winches I ordered 2 Lewmar EVO 15STs. Looking at the Lewmar winch chart it seemed these would work, although I must admit the chart was a little confusing, first off there is no 15 on the chart.
When I opened the boxes it looked like the 15s are pretty small. I'm not doing any offshore sailing, just planning to sail at most to Catalina from Marina Del Rey.
Does anyone have any experience with replacing the cabin top winches? What are you using? Did I interpret this chart (attached) correctly? I was looking at the main halyard row and 35ft column.
Thank you!
