Well, its not the first time she has been in place as it was temporarily used to test the keel, but now the winch is in place and not likely to move for a very long time. It can be serviced in place and I hope the only time I have to remove it is never.

Getting it there was not so easy and we had some clearance issues that forced us to install and remove it twice!

On the very positive side, the vesconite bushes we made to isolate it from the hull work great. Now we can place the bulkhead behind it and close in the plumbing for the shower which is also in place.
