Has anyone converted the Lewmar 44 winch to electric in their Hunter 376 or 380? Cost? Issues? Problems?
Thanks,
Dave

We have a 376 & added an electric winch conversion kit to raise the main. Made a different boat for us. It was a labor intensive job but well worth the effort. I used #1 stranded copper all the way to the main battery bank.
If you need pics let me know.

On my 49, I convertered rate port cabin top winch to electric.We converted our Lewmars to electric nine years ago and also used #1 wire. There have been no issues other that not being out of breath after raising the main. It's also convenient for gybes. I highly recomend the conversion.
On the crimp lugs, there is a hole size. (1/4", 3/8", etc)Great advice, art! Thanks.
Send me your emailI'd like pictures too. I'd appreciate them if you would. You can post them for everyone. If you don't want to do that I'll pm you with my email.
Thanks in advance
