Can't help with the diameter, Joe, got 22's on my 25, and 25's, 28's, and 32's on Imzadi.
To prevent losing anything over the side, go to Office Depot and buy a cardboard box that is X by X by X, where X is a comfortable amount larger than the diameter of your winch base. I use 4" larger myself. Or you can go to the post office and get a large flat rate priority mail box. Probably larger than you need, but it is free. Assemble the box and remove the top flaps. Cut a hole in the bottom the diameter of the winch base. Put the box over the winch, and anything that jumps and anything you drop or spill falls into the box. As far a springs go, as someone already said there is a source for Barient parts in New Zealand, though I don't believe it is Arco. But check with your local West Marine first, that is where the packet of spare pawl springs for my Barient winches came from a few years ago, and I presume they still sell them.

Also do I dare take them apart for greasing? If a spring shoots overboard can I still get more? Thanks! Joe Coquina
