Anybody tried these rubber things that go on regular winches to make

The person I bought my boat from said they are great, and he
circumnavigated with them. I haven't tried them yet so can't say for

They're better than nothing. If you have experience with self-tailers, you
won't call them great. Another data point... they degrade in the sun after a
few seasons. Found that out myself.
