<div id="yiv1549081303"><div dir="ltr">Hello again,<div><br></div><div>I have given up on finding a winch handle for the old Lewmar 8s that I have on my boat. Looking at prices at West Marine, it might be just as easy to replace them as it would be to take the time and effort to fabricate my own handle. I see #6s for $150 and #8s for $250. I don't understand these numbers but a reviewer mentioned using the #6 to replace winches on a San Juan 21. I want to economize as much as I can but I also don't want to have any regrets down the road. I am not racing but I am on the Great Salt Lake (much saltier than the ocean) so durability is a big consideration. Any advise? </div>
