Lewmar winch handle

[vegasailor2002]

I'm not sure what winches came on the Vega but mine has Lewmar #8
which has a smaller than usual handle. Does anyone have a handle they
do not use any longer, perhaps after winch upgrade ? ? Thanks,Mark

Hi Mark,

Many of us would like a source of these small star fitting handles. Mine
regularly get "thrown" overboard by over enthusiastic crew.

The temp fix is to buy a cheap standard handle and with a nice coarse file
remove every other point ending up with a square that fits, I forget the exact
dimention you need but it's not critical. Hope this helps
