Winch Question

[Kermit]

My boat doesn't have a starboard cabin top self tailing winch.

A buddy of mine gave me a used Lewmar 30ST single speed.

Should I install this one or try and get a 2 speed winch?

Thanks

I would go to the Lewmar website where you'll find specs for the ST winch vs the two speed 16 (?) now on your port side. Look for things like power ratio. You may be better off with the ST winch when raising the board. You could also swap the two.

The 30 is a little large for the cabin top.
I would stick with the 16 size.
