The drums on my Lewmar 43's are starting to show their age. The bronze is beginning to show through the chrome......anyone out there ever had their drums re-chromed??
I don't have direct experience but a friend recently found a local shop to do the winch drums and other winch parts ... this particular shop had some experience with winches and I think the charges were pretty reasonable ... on the order of $75 each if I recall correctly. Of course, he delivered them to the shop and picked them up again.
He was quite satisfied with the result. If you like I can try to find the name and phone number of the shop in the Tampa-St Pete area of Florida.
What the heck, had a good sailing weekend, so we'll forgive your question , but yes, it's just standard plating stuff, like your old Chevy's bumper. Now, as far as your auto having a motorcycle frame as part of its assembly....:eek:
Sorry for the belated reply.....If you could provide the info for the shop in St. Pete it would be most appreciated....the cheapest $ I have been able to find is $225 each. It could save me several bucks even with the shipping.
