Lewmar ST winch "base wedge"

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!

Re: Lewmar ST winch "base wedge"

angled teak bases are available from whitecap in the US. google winch 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.

Thanks! When I search for “winch pad” there’s lots of options.
