[quote=gahamby][quote]I envision mounting the winch at the base of the mast support facing up[/quote]
My objection to this would be the possibility of immersing the winch when launching or recovering. Having the winch facing up would allow the most debris and water to fall into the winch.
[quote]Yes but this "design" is to move a floating boat up a few feet (or inches) until the hull kisses the bow stop. and it is pulling in a straight line... [/quote]
Doesn't the straight aft pull exert the most leverage on the base of the winch post?[/quote]
