Zozza 261 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I have literally just taken these off the boat I am refurbishing and are for sale. No issues with them that I can see, appear to be in good condition. They are 130mm in height, about 150mm in width to the outer lip and come with handles. Handles are just under 360mm long Using what I have seen over the years for these Murray winches on trade me as a guide, offering them for $275 ea, or $480 if you take the pair. Not willing to post, so prefer an Auckland buyer to pick up, though if you are not in Auckland perhaps a mate visiting can pick up. PM or mob: 0220 485 474. Disclosure: One nut and washer missing off just one of the bolts, and when I took the first winch off I - thinking that is what I had to do take it off (ie - unscrewed the cover off it's inner base), I can't quite get it to sit flush on its base when I put it back together, but that's just the little jaw things need to be aligned correctly and then all is well. If you know what you are doing you will sort that in two minutes flat. Second one (closest in the first picture below) I left screwed together and just pulled it off the teak platform it was on, intact, so didn't have to try to screw it down again. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aardvarkash10 846 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 damn Zoz - thats VERY reasonable. Surely someone on Waitemata Woodys or in the restoration gig would snap them up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I'd say it be a third of what similar sized Murrays have sold on Trademe previously...but I am meeting the market I guess, which at this time seems pretty quiet for anything marine...

Zozza 261 Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Practically giving these away now at $200 for the pair: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/parts-accessories/winches/listing/4115696065?bof=AuLvhz1t Listing expires lunchtime today, I would prefer a crewdotorger beats a watcher from Trademe, but what will be will be....

Zozza 261 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 No bites - f__k me. FINAL OFFER: $180 for the pair, if no one buys them at that price I will drop them off at the nearest scrap metal outlet. Perhaps the cost of living crisis is really biting after all.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 479 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Dont scrap them, try ebay. Seriously theres a lot of classic nuts out there that love anything bronze. Murrays have a niche following, and charge accordingly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zozza 261 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Or maybe the Classic Yacht assn....dunno why I didnt think of that before -- I guess I submconsciously assumed they all view crewdotorg too but maybe not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
