I was finding that I have many lines on the port side cabin top that I used a lot and really needed a second winch there. Initially I had planned to install the 2nd winch in the same position I've seen them on SF40's but then I realised that the dodger would get in the way.
I experimented with various positions and then finally decided on fitting it forward of the existing winch in a position where I could still use it with the dodger up. Whilst the angle from the clutch to the wince for some lines is more than I would prefer, it is still better than it is for the original winch.
After a week of sailing I am very happy with this set-up
