Received my Unifoil B kick-up rudder assembly today from Rudder Craft...man, these are some kind of rudders.  Can't wait to see how they work.  Restoring an old boat something always goes wrong.  This time, while removing the winches one busted beyond repair.  Hutchins used Arco #6 USA.  This company went out of business and I've been checking on #6 winches.  Price range $120.00 each and up.  Does anyone know where you can buy used winches?  I need two (2) #6.  There are none on e-Bay.

No problem.
Glad it could help you out. Let us know how the switch over goes. I have heard it a lot over the years that the lewmar 6 and ARCO were the same winch. A couple replaced their ARCOs with them and had no issues what so ever.
