My C-22 came with 2 Barlow 16 winches... off the hull, wrapped in brown paper in the cabin. Don't know if these are original or not. Good news is that the mounting holes appear to match with the bolt holes!
Now for the question: What type head should be on the bolt to mount these, and should I use a backing plate inside the hull?
Thanks for your continued education!!!
Every boat needs a good winch... or two!

I'm not sure of the exact answer, but I can tell you that I don't have backing plates behind the 6 bolts on mine.
My winches are also not original.

Hey Paul,
Here is a link I found to the Barlow 16. Of coures it doesn't show any mounting bolts, but if I remember and by the look of these picts, they should fit flush with the top, so a beveled SS is what I would use, and a backing plate is never a bad idea, but I dont have any either,,, and don't forget to bed it so it doesn't leak in a good silicone or 4200

I don't have backing plates on mine either, But then there is not a lot of pressure on them either.
On a 22 foot you can usally adjust the sheets by hand and seldom need to use the winches.

mmm sorry, but yes, I needed the winches once or twice!Capt. Bondo wrote:I don't have backing plates on mine either, But then there is not a lot of pressure on them either.

I don't have backing plates on mine, I just used big fender washers, and so far, so good, not a problem!

There are no backing plates on mine but the PO did use some over sized washers. I am planning on making some backing plates from stainless, I found a place on line that will sell and cut almost any type of plate for a very reasonable cost (cheap) my reasons for wanting the backing plates are two fold, the obvious for the distribution of the load, but the other is so i can "reverse" (hang brackets)mount brackets from the plates for a vhf radio and a CD player, these two spots look to be perfect locations for these are functional and out of the way. I will post photos (not very soon) when i get around to it. Im also planning on re-beding the life line stanchions and using some backing plates.

What would it take for you to drop a dime on this on-line source for backing plates? I'm sure I'll need a number of them before this overhaul is completed.

My 77 didn't have backing plates but I installed some I made from aluminum plate to be on the safe side. I don't always need the winches but have had them under quite a strain from time to time also. I always go with better safe than sorry.

Finished cleaning the winches today. The receipt in the sack they were in said 4/7/1985. The greese stunk from age! As for the bolts - they were in the bottom of the bag as well. Used hex heads. My thought is that with a hex wrench stuck in the top of the bolt, the long end of the wrench contacts the winch and allows you to tighten the nuts on the inside without a helper. At least it sounds good in theory.
