Are you nuts? Many times I've seen winch handles fall out through the
cracks in the locker door, fly up the companionway and splash right into
the briny deep, lost forever. You should keep them under armed guard in
a bank vault.

But how many times have you seen them leap back in the boat, conk
someone on the head, and end up back in the winch??? Huh? How many???
