[QUOTE="whistler, post: 210977, member: 1086"] When I purchased my boat and trailer a couple of years ago I noticed the winch had cable on it. I thought that would be a lot better than a strap. That cable requires me to stop usually 2 times and re-tighten it. The tight cable on the winch spool finds it's way into between the other wraps of the cable thus requiring me to take another click or so of the handle until it all finally settles in. This seems to happen no matter how careful I am with the way the cable winds in. I have always had straps on all my other trailer winches so I was tickled to see the cable as the strap was a pain to keep from folding over on itself. Is a strap my best solution after all? [/QUOTE]
