5/8" Lewmar Winch Handle

[Soontobecruiser]

Does anybody know where to get this non standard winch handle? We have a 1972 Islander 36 that has the old Lewmar winches on it. West Marine had 5 of them in their entire system 2 years ago, now they have none and we need a second one.

our host sailnet has some listings, a quick web search reveals others.

Hi
Not sure if your still looking for a 5/8 drive handle .
last year when i needed an old lewmar winch part, i searched the net for ' winchspares' .
Suggest you try them if you wish .
Hope it helps you.

Are you talking about the winch handle with a 5/8 " square drive? I may have one. There is an old square drive winch handle in my "stuff" box.

Thanks for all the answers. We ended up getting a few square drive handles in Annapolis and grinding them down to fit.
