I was gifted a pair of Lewmar 40 EVO ST winches for my Catalina 30. In the mounting instructions Lewmar recommends that the winch sit at an angle of 5-10 degrees and to use a "base wedge" to achieve that angle. Has anyone fabricated this wedge and if so out of what? Thanks!
angled teak bases are available from whitecap in the US. googlewinch base, they come in a few diameters. It might be easier to adjust the angle of the line coming into the drum 10-15 degrees.
