Winch size

[ChangsinLattitudes]

Found a good deal on some Barlow #19 self tailing winches.
Got a C-30 w/a 150% genny, currently have non self tailing lewmar's. I forget the size.
I heard Barlows sizing is different.
Would these be a good fit for primary winches or too small?

Thanks.

Winch

I have Lewmar 40 St. They are standard equipment and
I would not use anything less.
PS. Just cleaned and greased all 4 winches. After 18 seasons they
work like new. First time and it wasn't a big deal. Lewmar offers
online videos how to on their sight.

Winch sizing from my approximate cross reference guide says
Barlow = Harken/Lewmar
16 = 8
19 = 16
23 = 30
24 = 40
The primary on my 77 Catalina 30 was Barlow 23 or Lewmar 30 and they were a little on the small side. I would agree with Bobcat and say that Barlow 19’s would be too small for the primaries, would work for secondaries fine though.
