Hi,
I have a 2008
Beneteau Oceanis 40 with a
Harken H40.2 STC manual
winch on the coach roof for the main
halyard etc. The yacht had a factory option that supplied an
electric winch; H40.2 STC EH where the "EH" stands for
electric horizontal.
I have learnt that post 2009, are the new Radial winches, but mine is Pre-2009 which is a
Classic winch.
I believe you used to be able to get elctric conversion kits for these winches that supplied the 90 degree
gear box and 12 volt
motor.
Contacting two dealers who checked with
Harken, I have been told that these
parts are no longer available and I would have to buy a new Radial Electric winch at a large cost.
Has anyone converted the same model winch before and can give any
advice, I see a couple of motors on Ebay that may of may not be the correct size? If you search Harken
motor they come up.
Does anyone know anyone who has old stock of these electric conversion kits for Pre-2009 Harken H40.2 STC classis winch?
Just taking a long shot that someone will read this that can help, otherwise I will have to save up for later.
