We sell and install Good, Lewmar , and Powerwinch. As to the one I like the best is the horizon 600. THe downfall of this winch is the plastic Flemming. This is the weakest part of the lewmar winches. Lewmar purchased S.Lawrance. so its the same winch. Good is your best out there. THe problem with these winches is you need a large anchor locker. The motor sits below deck and the anchor line will foul very easy in it if the locker is not large. The powerwinch we just started selling and installing about 1 year ago. THere is no plastic on this winch and they have been holding up very well for us. We have had anchor dropping issues with this winch even with the drop pulpit. If I was installing one on my boat I would choose the Lewmar Horizon 600. I saw a Quick winch the other day. The owner of Quick use own S. Lawrance so I am told its the same as the Lewmar winches but there is no plastic if I recall. ANd its a nice looking winch also. Tom please let us know how the install goes and how it holds up.
