That winch was made by RC Marine, formerly (a long time ago) made in So Cal, then the tooling was sold to someone in New Zea, possibly it was still called RC Marine.
That's about all I can help you with, other than get on the internet. Minney's Ship Chandlery in Newport Beach might have some leads, I used to know Owen Minney but haven't heard from him in 20 years. If you can contact him and he's still above room temp, say hi for me.

Jeff,
I have the compact winch in my M23 #75. I have heard it was made in New Zealand and is no longer available. Perhaps Jerry can shed a bit of light on this subject. Mine still functions fine, but if a replacement was found which fits as well, I would buy a spare. Have fun working on your new M23, you will be quite pleased with the final product and the way she sails.
