<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="2"><font color="navy">Sorry this is going to sound like locking the gate after the horses got out but....
If you're working on your winch while on the water take a box, cut hole in the bottom and fit it over the winch that way parts end up in the box not "ker plop".
Sorry I don't know where to get spare winch parts.
However for wench tops try Victoria's...
Never mind. </font id="navy"></font id="size2"></font id="Comic Sans MS">

I've never bought anything from PYacht, but you could try them

I got a replacement after my 16ST was damaged in a storm. I think I ordered it directly from Lewmar. Was very quick.

If in your slip, hire a diver to retrieve. I have my bottom done each month and they will retrieve my droppings!

I would think that hiring a diver to retrieve 'dropings' would anger Neptune. Those aren't droppings, they are offerings and gifts.

Caca Pasa! Happened to me too. Tried fishing for it with a contraption we have for getting things off the bottom but it probably sank deep in the mud. Pretty hard to get just that part anywhere. I trolled ebay and bought an old winch cheap. Used the cap from that one. While doing maintenance on winches earlier this year some other parts on that old winch came in handy.

I'd try fishing with a strong magnet on a pole and raking the bottom precisely where it fell. May take a while, but if it's plated brass or bronze, then you're outa luck.

OK, I guess I have have to admit that I have more experience with wench tops than winch tops. Forget the magnet.
