I replaced the handle on one of my clutches (on the C&C 24). I think they were Lewmar, but could have been Spinlock (I don’t remember and the boat is no longer around). The handle broke exactly as you describe – it was open and someone stepped on it.
The process was pretty simple, but you have to take the clutch off the deck. good luck Marek From: Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2017 08:41 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Bruce Whitmore Subject: Re: Stus-List Replacement handles for Lewmar D2 clutches OK, that's odd, I went searching, and now found some online. Lewmar said they didn't make replacements and there were none in the U.S. or overseas. The ones that they show are here http://www.shopsoundboatworks.com/led2clhakit.html?gclid=CI3Tp_HFiNQCFQ0HhgodrMoGWQ The don't look the same as mine, but the might work. Anyone tried replacing the handles on their Lewmar D2 clutches?

Interestingly, 2 or 3 of the clutch handles are aluminum, and seem pretty robust. The others are fiberglass, and those are the ones that after many years, if they are open and someone inadvertently steps on them, they break and cannot seem to be repaired. And, of course, I've checked with Lewmar and they no longer make replacement handles. I hate the idea of replacing 12 or 13 clutches, and yet I really like the way that the Lewmar clutches grab line. If I can find a machine shop that will make the handles for a reasonable price, would anyone here need any?
