 Dave, that looks really good to me!  I'm sure Dennis or others can advise 
about the gelcoat, but I could live with it that way; Is you new winch an 
electric winch? What does the underside look like? are there any exposed bolts 
in the cabin? Thanks

I finished my winch project yesterday and am quite happy with the result.  I 
used an aluminum plate as adapter as I had planned which I drilled and tapped 
for the Harken mounting holes.  Then I was able to reuse a number of the old 
through deck holes plus several new ones to mount the plate (bed-it butyl 
underneath).  I am not happy with the white epoxy I used to fill the 2 exposed 
old holes (you can see one just to the right of the winch).  What do others use 
to try to match the gelcoat and get a flat or textured surface?  Dave
