[C38] Replacing winch

[Max Soto]

There are several options. 
Sent all my lines to the cockpit and installed a Lewmar 40st on starboard side to be used with mainsheet and also main halyard. Way easier is somebody is grinding me up the mast 
You can also leave the q6 where it is, and install the new 30 on Port and install a block where the mainsheet is attached to, so you can control the mainsheet from both sides. 
BTW, no gaskets back then. You can install one or use Teff gel
Hope this helps.

In the latter case I would have to move some blocks too.
