Winches - re-Chrome

[Peter Hibbard]

I have some winches on my CSY 37B JAZZ where the chrome over brass is worn away pretty much and was thinking about re-chroming them. Has anyone done this? Any recommendations on vendors? Any idea on pricing? I am in Florida so in-state would be my first choice.

R&H Plating in Ft Lauderdale is a potential option from internet.

Any experience here would be apptreciated.

Thanks...Peter

If you find a place let me know. I have a couple of winches I need re-chromed. I understand there is a place down by Titusville that does a lot of work for NASA.

If it's still helpfull, I dug out the receipts left by the previous owner of my boat.  He had the 2 sheet winches and the mainsheet winch re-chromed in 2005.  Cost was $400 plus tax.  15 years later, they are still perfect.  I made up some sunbrella covers for them a couple years ago, so they should stay that way for a long time.

Name of company is Airco Plating Co, Inc., 3650 NW 46 St, Miami, FL 33142. Phone #305 633 2476.

Hi Matt, I am in Perth and there are two places her

I recently got quotes for my 48st winches they couldn't say for definite but gave me a range of $300-$450 each.  Interesting they said Don't try to clean them up
