- Questions

What size winch handle do I need for my sailboat?

Standard winch handles are 10 inches (250mm) or 8 inches (200mm). Larger handles provide more leverage for big winches on cruising boats, while smaller handles suit racing applications on the Gold Coast where quick trimming matters. Check your winch manufacturer's specifications. Two-speed handles work with two-speed winches for both power and speed ratios.

How often should I service my sailing winches?

Service winches annually for regular coastal sailing throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland, or every 6 months for intensive racing use. Service kits include pawls, springs, and bearings that wear with use. Regular maintenance with marine grease prevents saltwater corrosion and ensures smooth operation when you need reliable performance.

Are winch handles universal across different brands?

Most modern sailing winches use a standard square drive socket that accepts universal handles. However, some older winches or specific models may require proprietary handles. Check your winch manufacturer and model before purchasing. We stock handles compatible with Lewmar, Harken, and other major brands used on Tweed Coast sailboats.

Do you stock spare pawls and springs for winch repairs?

Yes, we carry pawl and spring kits for major winch brands and common models. Pawls and springs are wear items that eventually need replacement to maintain proper winch function. We also stock complete service kits with all components for comprehensive rebuilds. Contact us with your winch brand and model for specific part availability on the Gold Coast.
