[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 441451, member: 13140"] Most will say under for two reasons. One is the stress from the load will be closer to the mounting bolts. The other reason is that some winches only wind in one way and those are from the bottom. On a light boat I wind them both ways and find the direction that pulls the bow eye most securely to the V block or bow roller. Your winch can be wound in the direction that works best for you. That's a snazzy winch you have! The manual for it shows how to change it to wind it in either direction. https://www.fultonperformance.com/support/installation/NFW20000301.pdf [/QUOTE]
