We have lots of miscl. parts for Catalina 22's where I work at the Sail Boat Shop, Lake Pleasant, AZ. We're closed today but I will check the benches tomorrow for you. I've seen what you're talking about and if memory is correct the winch handle looks like "flat stock" with a knob on it and inserts in the bottom of the winch. I've also seen winches with the same handle where it slides into the side of the top of the winch. Maybe if an original can't be found, one could be home made? Also, if you call Catalina Yachts and ask for the parts department, tell them what year boat you have, they can tell you what winch was supplied and give you specs. You might find that your winch is not an original, but a aftermarket add on by a previous owner. It's worth a try, as Catalina Yachts is very good at helping their boat owners. |
