Mast winch bases

[Dale Genther]

I'm in the process of mounting some winches to a mast. The winches are Merriman No. 2's with a base diameter of 4.25 in. The alminum mast is eliptical with a cross section of about 8.25 in (forward to aft) by 4.25 in (port to stbd.). I need some winch bases of stainless or aluminum to attach to the mast so I can attach the winchs to these bases. Anyone know of a source for these mast winch bases?

Rig-Rite should have them.

Thanks, but I had already looked on their website and didn't see any.

They've got them. You have to find a mast section similar to yours and then look at accessories. Kind of a pain. Here's a solid cast alu. pad toward the bottom of the page. http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/Spartan.../cd3_mast.html

Rigging Only also has them.
