PM me the part numbers that you want and I'll ck w/ my stocking distributor. It's the largest so maybe we'll  get lucky.

Ken, I sent you a PM.  Thanks for checking into this for me.  You are too kind.

Harris,

Welcome.

Have you tried the marine surplus stores, too?  Like Minnies on the west coast and Bacons on the east coast?

Thanks for the reply to my post.  I haven't checked with Bacons since I've never heard of it.  I'll take a look at that and see.  With Minnies, I think I would have to buy the whole winch.

Thanks again,
Dave

I'm new to the forum, so please be gentle.  I have two Lewmar Wavegrip 46st and one Lewmar 30st on my (new to me) 1989 Cataline 34.5.  I would like to get new Upper and Lower Crowns for each of the winches.  But with an older; ok.. old boat, it is hard to get new parts.  I was wondering if anybody has tried or know of any crowns from newer winches that would be compatible to fit my old winches?  Or maybe someone has other ideas.  Yes, I do know that I can buy new ones, but if I could have afforded that, I would have bought a newer boat.  ;)  I've looked on ebay, online, and also called Lewmar directly.

Thanks for your time.
