BARRIENT WINCHES

Since Barrient went out of business, how much of a problem is it getting parts?

I found the THE AUSTRALIAN YACHT WINCH CO.(www.arco-winches.com) sells parts for barrient winches.Are there any other sources?

I've had good luck with both Barrient and Barlow parts from M&E Marine. Their number is (800) 541-6501.I used to shop at the store in Collingwood, NJ when my boat was on the Delaware River. Great store. Helpful staff, mostly sailors. And it was like an old hardware store full of boat stuff. The actually had overhaul kits for my Barrient 16 sheet winches... and real polished bronze clevises for the Merriman turnbuckles that had gotten bent by the previous owner.
