I just bought a 1993 23.5 and it did not come with a winch handle. It has Lewmar 6 single speed winches. I want to buy a handle but see 200mm, 230mm, 250mm. Any idea what size I need? Thanks!

Its a personal preference... The socket size in the winch is standard but the length of the handle is the only difference... How long of handle do you want?
shorter is faster and longer is more powerful because it offers better leverage.

Also depend on whether there's enough swing room for the handle.

The one that came with my boat was pretty small. I purchased a Barton floating winch . It bigger lighter and hopefully floats if it becomes unlocked.
