We bought a used Balboa 20 and are in the process of restoring it. We now realize that there is no Keel winch. What did the original look like how was it attached. I asume it fits over the hole in the cockpit??? any help would be great

Bc1256 someone had replaced the winch on my Mac22 with a trailer winch which doesn't have an integral braking system. During one of our trips when I was lowering the keel the handle slipped out my hand and swung uncontrollable hitting my arm several time over. I was lucky that it didn't brake my arm. The following trip I replaced this winch with the correct one with integral brake. I bought the winch at Granger for around $45,,I can dig up the model if you like.
