After 40 years of faithful service. The last two years in which it leaked oil. My windless stopped working. I don't know the make since the paint has pealed off and I can't find any label or stamp indicating the make. I'm not going to repair it I am going to buy new.
For a Marine Trader 41. 42' LOA, 15 tons displacement. Full flybridge bimini for added windage. 20 kg Bruce. I was thinking of a Lofrans Tigres, 1500 watt. Horizontal windless.
What do you guys think of the Lofrans Tigres? I've seen them on similar sized boats, they have been around for a long time and I haven't heard a lot of bad things about them. And with respect to the wireing I have in place and the placement of the chain fall it seems to be a straight re & re.
