That seems WAY to good to be true, but I'd be interested if it was! Do you have details??

i read the same article it was a preview of things to come ...i have seen some bait and switch out of them before when it comes to advertising ...so i am doing the wait and see thing just incase it is real...let me restate that not bait and switch but a special on a not so great item ...slow mover if you will

I went to the WM website and didn't see any current flyer. BOGO is indeed too good to be true....not unless they marked up the first item 100%

Rats!!! I was getting excited. I'd love to get an electric winch for my hauling up my mainsail (big sail, tall mast). I was hoping I could find someone else who would want one and we could go in together. Then I read that it's only "manual winches". Double Rats!!!!

So would a Lewmar #40 be a good replacement on our H34? Would the base be too large? http://www.westmarine.com/buy/lewmar---40-two-speed-self-tailing-winch-gray-aluminum--11857661

no they are almost the same dimension it would be a bit stronger as i recall....make that faster

I got confirmation of the offer in a very large promo newspaper mailed to me. It's a pretty big sale, lasts through 3/20.

Their premade docklines are 40% off IIRC, and lots of various kinds of PFDs are marked down, along with some solar panels. However, there were two full pages of specifically BOGO items.

I just pulled the trigger on a pair of self tailing winches. You just put one in your cart, and they add another one!

Thanks, PGIJohn!!

Geno, what size two speed Lewmars do you think would work best for 110 and 155 jib sheets near the wheel on my H30C. I'd like a pair of self tailers too. Not afraid to drill new holes and add plates. I wanna organize all lines back to Cockpit for some single handling. Jib winches would be first on my list.
