Winch Upgrade
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2022 7:30 pm
Continuing my 20-year maintenance/upgrade. Getting tired of taking the inside headliner off every time to do maintenance on the cabin-top 40.2 Harken winches, plus they are worn.
• I assume the Harken Performa 40.2 STP is the approved upgrade.
• Am I correct the newer design allows for maintenance without taking the winch out of the deck?
• Does the new Performa 40.2 STP have the same hole mounts? Would really like not to have to drill new holes.
• Once off, any way to tell if Pearson/TPI drilled and sealed deck holes with epoxy correctly?
• What is the preferred sealant? I have used silicone, but recently it was recommended to use 3M 4200.
• If I do need to drill new holes, any preferred technique? I've seen it range from simple to complex on the web.[/list]
Thanks again for the help, If no experience with this then I'll contact Harken.
