Winch covers?
My old winch covers are pretty shot and I'm have a surprising amnount of trouble finding some (bought some $6 ones on Amazon and they turned out to be for a car winch
)

Re: Winch covers?
Well, I found this place by searching for “small winch cover”…

Looks like yours would fall into the “medium” category.

Re: Winch covers?
Hi DiAnderson!
While we don’t cover our winches I can see the benefits!
I’ve seen some covers in use over the past several that have varied from upside down painted and glazed flower pots to what looked like small inverted paint plastic buckets with a rock on top to keep it in place.
The best I’ve seen were mini drawstring bags like the ones below from Amazon…

The advantage is they are compact to stow, waterproof and can cinch in place so they don’t blow away.
Hope this helps….
Best Regards,

What are winches? Just kidding.
I've NEVER used my winches. I suppose covering them is wise. They are expensive to repair.
