winchin

never really thought I would consider a winch, but I couldn't help notice this beautiful stretch of stream that feeds into the bay. I've never ridden a winch before, but as when I saw this site that was the fist thought that came to mind. I don't have many people to ride with up here, so I was thinkin this might be a good alternative for winter ridin. So my question is...how does the winch work? Is there a throttle on the handle? If I crash does it stay put? Maybe a winter project...any tips would be appreciated

2 people to winch.... there is a guy working on a remote throttle to mount on the handle but he has'nt had much luck yet...

if you crash the winch stays put, the only downfall is if the driver isnt paying attention you have to swim a ways to get back to the handle, i put a ton of money into mine, i went way over kill. ive heard of people building them for 600$ ive got like 1500$ into mine, if your looking to buy one already done. ive heard that pulldozer winches are awesome, ive also heard that the yankmeister is pretty good . and its a bit cheaper.

if you decide to build one, i highly recomend putting a torque converter on it.

ive helped a few people in the process of building one, im out of town right now, but i have some sites bookmarked for a cheap engine that works really well. also a REALLY good line that most people use on a winch for a good price. ill be back home on sunday and if you want them, fire me an email
