Looking for used boat parts, specifically bigger self-tailing winches.

I remember years - or decades - ago there used to be a place - maybe in or around Annapolis - that was a popular source for used parts.
Can anyone tell me the name, and if and where they are still around?
Thanks.

West Marine usually has a BOGO sale on select winches sometime during the year.

@Sailor Sue Someone mentioned Bacon Sails. They can have things but you have to really go there and look to find deals.

Someone recently told me of another location but I don't recall the name. I'm currently sailing in Nova Scotia, when I'm back down to the Chesapeake, I'll look them up. If I haven't answered you by the second week of September, please drop me a PM to remind me if you are still looking.

I found an old derelict boat in my marina (been sitting there for 19+ years) and I asked if I could take some parts off of it before they cut it up…I got several old crusty winches, but the cleaned alright and were in very good mechanical shape considering their age and how long they had been sitting on a derelict boat.

Thanks for the responses. Bacon was the place I was trying to remember. My friend is aware of the West BOGO deal, and has already looked at most of the local marinas. Maybe he will be up for a road trip to Annapolis.
