No he probably meant 'wench'. It's been cold in IL this winter.

No problem. It was a good smile on an early morning.

Sorry I have no Maxwell winches. Do have a Barient 10 that I just removed. And I know where there were a couple of self tailing 10s.

You guys are shamefull! One man's gale is another man's fresh breeze and one man's wench is another's Bo Derric.
Course mine is a Bo Derric and I don't think I'll ever see her as a wench. They don't call them First Mates for nothing.

not often, but sometimes, wenches just like winches, need to be changed out.... and its not always our ultimate decision, but a lot of times its because something has gone seriously wrong with the product, or it has been stolen, and it has left us in serious need of a replacement... :biggrin:
ya gotta keep an open mind, cuz sometimes change is good.... but I do agree that there is no need to replace the winch/wench if you take good care of it, dont overload it, keep it serviced regularly and if it doesnt get stolen...

Look what you started Cap Kirk. Smile. There is little mercy among Sailors. I think it may be the Rum.

I bought a used one last year thinking that I might need it but I ended up not using it. I haven't seen it in several months so I will have to dig it out of the garage this weekend. I bought it for very little on eBay and you're welcome to it for what I paid plus shipping, interested?

But she sure could put a wrench in a guy's plans though, couldn't she?

I mailed the package a few minutes ago so I suspect that it will take 5-7 days, it's coming from Northern California. I hope it is what you're looking for. After you have looked it over get back to me and we'll talk further.
