Hi Boys and Girl's,
I've been doing heaps of thought on this device,I'm a little torn which way to go!, Firstly I have a 2000lb boat winch which I'm thinking about taxing the mechanism and adapting it to a rotating bollard similar to what you see already on the market but running on a trailer axle with bearings, with what you drew Ekka, very similar mounting but I was going to gusset and weld for support and to spread the stress of it working underload, The other thought running thru my mind is having the breaking system stationary with a come-a long mounted of to one side so it's easy to use, Remember I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible,but not on quality..so it's safe to use not some try hard 2 bob approach....yeah you can say buy lewmar and just mount it, but then we have not achieved anything but pinched someones idea,I like their concept, But the price is a bit steep,so which way would should I go??
