Gearmatic winch on a 40c

Post by fundytides » Mon Dec 05, 2022 7:29 pm

I might have a chance to pick up a Gearmatic winch from a junked 420c. Is the power shaft and housing the same for the 420 and 40 or will I have to find one specifically for my 40?

Drive shaft is the only issue, 40 is different than 420, but all else is the same.

Thanks Lavoy. I'll see what happens. If I can get the winch at a decent (low) price, then I will worry about finding the shaft.
