    trailer build sport canoe

    Well it finally warmed up enough I was able to get the back gates opened and the boat out of the back. The sky winch works if you have a strain on it, with no weight or pressure the line will slip, hold the bitter end tight so it can get a bite on the line and it will pull till the line...

    trailer build sport canoe

    Rich this is by no means a replacement for the standard boat winch. a separate bow tie down is required as this is not meant to hold a load, it is only a rope puller. Later I will go trampling through the foot of snow later today and get the name of this devise so it can be looked up properly...
