How to change trailer winch cable on land?
"Ree-Yees" wrote in message ... My winch cable is ripped about half way across at one point. I want to replace the cable sitting in my driveway but want to make sure my boat isnt going to slide off onto the ground. I have a shoreland'r trailer with rollers. Unless you are parked going up a very steep hill I would not expect the boat to slide off on its own. If you are worried about it, take a rope or chain and tie the bow hook on the boat to the post that holds the winch. Loosen the winch a bit, then push on the boat to see if it will slide back (the idea is that you would want it to slide back and take up all the slack in the chain/rope while the winch was still attached. Once you are assured the boat isn't going anywhere finish unwinding the cable. Rod |
