[C38] Port Side Winch Access and Secondary Winch sizing

[Joseph Launie]

Alex,
     I replaced both primary winches with Harken electric winches. On my 
boat (hull number 365) there was a galley light directly under the 
winch. I had to cut a huge access hole to get to the winches on both 
sides.  Joe launie/Macavity
