148148, Are you going to install a new engine too?!! the sum mentioned is LM1888.92. when you'll check properly my friend you will know exactly how much it will cost you. obviously you will not get it for free cause nothing is for free but with that price you will do one for you, me and someone else!. Be carefull m8. Ask John and Twanny Mechanics they will guide you as they did for me. They work also on professional electrical installations, and they are situated in front of Petercraft Hal Qormi, Triq il-Kaccatur. go there and ask them.

Perla, i went to another place reccommended by someone here as well, they wanted $1500 euros for just the longline winch complete not installed, he was near the roundabout near Attard, my girlfriends cousin at M'xxlok Peter Caruana put me onto this guy and came up so I assumed he was on the straight and narrow.

148148 1500 euros just the long line winch or with the motor that you have to put with the engine? for just just the winch its a robbery. from jimmy the one on the raod from attard to mosta aboat 3 years ago it was 800 euros the winch only. power center at bir id deheb also has long line winches they are about 800 euros. than you need the motor that fits to the engine and an oil tank

The best place for winches in Malta is from charlie of Zurrieq. I got two from him one long line and another for nets. The quality of these are better even the welding itself is very neat. He also have discounted hydraulic motors.
