No name winches?

(1/2) > >>

Valor:
Hey guys,

I want to sevice my winches and there are no markings on it denoting a brand name anywhere. Is there anyone who would know what brand the primaries were on a 1978 323. I went as far as removing the drums but there was nothing inside either.

Michael

Captain Bri:
My understanding is that Lewmar 40s were original equipment for primary winches.

selene:
I (hull 212, 1980) have 2xLewmar 42 as primaries; 2xLewmar 16 at the mast, and one Lewmar 6 on the boom.

Yours must be different - Lewmar's are clearly marked.  Perhaps post a photo?

Chance:
I own Hull 10 Pearson 323 1977 Chance

Our secondary winches now were our original primaries on the boat.  Back in 1977 they were 2 speed Lewmar 40 winches made in England.  1 Lewmar 8 for the Main, mounted on the mast, and 1 Lewmar 16 for Jib/Genoa, also mounted on the mast.  Both were single speed.  On top of the winches is a round plate that states the size and maker of the winch.  I had covers on my winches for years so I could still read the size and maker information on the round plate.

Mine are Lewmar 40 (2 speed, not self-tailing).  They are plainly marked.  Hull #344 (1982 model).
