I'm looking purchasing some self tailing winches, I live in Victoria. Can anyone recomended a brand and retailer for me? I've found with some things its cheaper to purchase from a store rather than online when freight is added expecially heavy things.

Hi Rob
As an aside a friend of mine buys a fair bit of stuff through Defender.com in the states... he finds still a fair bit cheaper even on big items that Whitworths and Co.
Have a look
