>>My boat came with Lewmar 24s and no teak winch pads. I've been planning to put them back on (they came with the old winches in a box of stuff), but based on the Override thread maybe I'll reconsider. Not having the winch pads we get lots of overrides, particularly with the #1. My crew only uses 2 wraps ever, and then they just manhandle the thing in--I'm waiting for the cleat to rip out of the deck...

>>In any case, no teak winch pads = overrides, just in case you were wondering. But I never have trouble with the line hanging up on the pads :)
