The Lewmar 40ST has been added to the approved list for primary winches

I don't see a Lewmar 44ST winch listed on the manufacturer's website. Did you mean the Lewmar evo45ST?

with all the new models that have been introduced I will update the list The evo 45 will probably fall in with it

comparative data
Approved:
Lewmar 44ST 44:8 and 13.9:1 12.6
Lewmar 44STOR 44:8 and 13.9:1 10.9
New:
Lewmar 45ST Evo 44.8:1 and 13.9:1 7.2kg (Black/Grey Alloy)
Lewmar 45ST Evo 44.8:1 and 13.9:1 9.7kg (Chrome Bronze)

the Lewmar 40ST would be a replacement for the secondary and not the primary winches, if considering Lewmar: the hole pattern for the Lewmar EVO 45ST does not match the Barient25; the "Fast Fit" idea was never implemented, no studs supplied. Winches are mounted in the conventional manner.

The 40's are not approved for use as a secondary they are two large Power ratio's are to high

No consideration on Andersons?

Binnacle.ca is having a smoking sale right now beinging the price down to the same as the aluminum Harkens and Lewmars

I see no reason why we Anderson's can't be approved and added to the list as long as they are in the same power ratio area as the Lemars and Harkins

let me know which one you are looking at and I will review

I did put a new pair of the Harkin 40.25 Self tailers on this year and the crew love them tons of power

Anderson 40ST is I think the most comparable. There is standard, standart self tailing, and full stainless self tailing.
