Thanks anon & well done, then of course the world's most experienced

Nope. Didn't really start using the trailer until this season. Last
season, boat was stored on a cradle, trailer was stored in a boatyard.
Only trailered the boat a couple of times. This season boat is stored on
a trailer, and launched at least once a week. Never bothered to examine
the winch or notice there was a lever that allowed another gear to slide
over.

None of my other trailer boats had multi-speed winches. They were much,
much lighter boats, and there was no need for a multi-speed.

You have grandkids? How, by immaculate deception?
