My 'new to me' H36 came with a Barient 10 mounted to the port side cabin top for the main sheet (& jib halyard) and an 18 on the stbd side for the main (& spare) halyards.
The port side 10 seems way too small to me for the main halyard.
Is this the way the boat was originally equipped, as mine appears to be? Does anyone else have the same setup/ feel the same? Has anyone made changes to this and, if so, what are they?
I'm concerned about just changing for a larger winch because it is bolted into what I understand is an aluminum ground in the cabin top with no inside access due to the liner.
Any thought, advice etc would be much appreciated.
