Well, one of my Barlow 16 sheet winches has frozen up completely on me (it seems the winch base has "expanded") and I need to replace the base. I've tried to contact Australian Yacht Winch Company without success about the purchase of the part or replacing the winch. Does anyone have a spare base for a Barlow 16 winch they'd like to sell? I'd also look at buying the entire winch if available. I have a 1984 O'Day 23. Thanks.
