Re: Compression support for winches

Thanks 44CC. Reassuring numbers there. And a good reminder of how to calculate the load.

Also a REALLY good point about avoiding winch overruns which are seriously bad thing in my books.

Re: Compression support for winches

Ummm, not sure the size except to say “waaaay too big”. Seriously oversized for the job. They are the winches for the yankee on a conservatively rigged 42 footer so that’s not a lot of strain....
