Yes that was a stupid question...
Well I have no clue now.
Same. Although the spectra line needed respooling with some weight on it to get it to hold my hook tight. I initially thought the Plasma lock was slipping.
Let me understand this correctly. It held the vehicle on a slight hill while in freespool, and then easily freespooled after that? I reversed the Grenadier while in freespool all the way to the warning red, and it's still a very hard pull out. I wonder if it's some internal brake issue??? Maybe I'll try to work it in-and-out to see if it gets better.
Thanks...That's kinda what I did with mine, just without the "pop". I need to "play with it" some more and maybe "pop its cherry"
When you are winching out for long periods instead of bursts, just know that it is working against the winch brake, and thus putting heat into the drum and winch line. Doing this infrequently or in short bursts (especially with no load) is usually ok, but under load and for longer than a few seconds at a time is a great way to overheat a winch
Thanks for the info. You know I have had a winch on my 4WD's for like 30 years and have only used them in earnest a half-dozen times. I just don't get myself into situations where that is the only option. The thing is, when you need it, you want it to work with absolutely no issues. In the interim, I will power-winch out. Ten or so meters of winch line can't overheat the motor much and in my case might free it up.
