I went to my favourite chandlery today, they were helding some small "Sail
Expo" and there were several representatives ( RayMarine, Harken, Lewmar ) and
I asked him about that ( I have 2 EVO CST30 to install ). He took the time to
dismount one and showed me, the largest gear should be the closest to the sheet
first contact point, so that means the largest gear should be facing the
starboard side. Since they turn in a clockwise direction, the port one will be
on the inside and the starboard one will face the exterior, slightly toward the
bow.
But he said that anyway people who race can have entry points from several
directions on the same winch so it doesn't matter that much :-)

Subject: Stus-List Lewmar EVO ST 40 winch mounting orientation
Help requested
I am mounting my new Lewmar EVO ST 40 winches tomorrow and the mounting
diagram in the application brochure shows the output gear orientation to be 90
degrees to the load as the correct orientation. This makes sense but my
winches are on the boat and I seem to remember that there are two gears 180
degrees apart engaging the drum. One gear is large and the other smaller and
the mounting diagram shows only one gear of undetermined size. The parts
diagram does not call either of these gears an output gear and both are part
#19 and called ratchet gears. Does anyone know which gear is the output gear
driving the drum?
Thanks for your help in advance.
