The anchor winch was reinstalled today and seems to be operating properly but I will only know for sure when I am in 60 ft. of water trying to bring home the anchor and chain. The mechanic did a poor job of the installation and required lots of supervision by both me and his boss. Several steps had to be repeated and the whole process took twice as long as it should have. Such is often the case when having boat work done in undeveloped countries where standards are much different than back home. Ultimately, the price is about the same.
All else is well onboard. We hope to leave here tomorrow.
