Default Cradle type boat lift cable unspools when lifting

If you hit bottom this is just normal operation. The guys around here
with cradles put weights on the cable a coulle feet up so they can
ground the cradle at low tide to get the boat off. The weights hold
the cable tight.


Just seems like the weight of the beams should be enough weight. People
talk about adding weights so it must be the right thing to do...
