Hi Guys,

I have a 15ft Fibreglass with an old style trailor. The winch we use is a
2.5:1 ratio and it is a real mission to get the boat on,. I have been told
to use 5:1 & 10:1 ration with 3 pawl. I was also told to get a winch brake.
Is a winch brake only needed when letting the boat off the tailor.

The trailer is an old stly centre tilt.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks
Alan
