can anybody tell me the manufacturer of this winch. who knows an
seller of this winchs

That is a VERY unusual winch design and is like nothing I have ever
seen before. Only one turn around the drum? It appears to me that it
would lead to a lot of wear on the cover of the line and might be
difficult to release under load. I'd recommend replacing both the
port and starboard winch with something newer.
