Anne (the professor) and I set out early to find working internet so we could start calling around for replacement parts. Most people suggested calling Napa, and it turned out, for good reason as they did have a new winch in the size we needed (a 3200 lb winch is apparently not a commonly stocked item!). We had to go with a whole new winch since nobody sold the replacement parts.
After some consulting, we decided we could put the new winch on ourselves. We did, but it took hours to do since it meant working with crappy tools in tight spaces. But we did it!
Because it took so long, we didn't fish today. On the bright side, it wasn't raining, so we didn't have to work on the trailer in the rain. On the bad side, it would have been really nice to go fishing on such a beautiful, warm, sunny day...
