It seems the Lewmar 44 (44:1) is an almost exact replacement for the Barient 28 (42.6:1). I have been thinking about the Winchmate self tailers, but $500 will still leave old gears and bearings; $400 more would in my mind be a pretty good value to replace those too. Jim, the 28's are about on the limit, but they have worked for me for the last few years - did you need the increased power or find it useful?
