The swing keel winch needs replacing on a 1971 22'MacGregor Venture,I was told a boat/PWC trailer winch would work fine. Any opinions on this or info on where to buy an original winch for this boat or tips on replacing? She's in the water and can still be cranked but the winch mount is tearing at the bolts.

Winch replacment

I replaced mine last winter, and just got a standard boat winch from Norther Handy Man. If I had it to do over again, I'ld look into one with a clutch instead of one with a safty catch. I was in a bad spot with the rudder up and bumper the handle, making the keel drop, and nearly broke my shin on the handle. live nad learn.
