What Winch Do You Recommend To Replace My Rule T20S
Updated 01/27/2022 | Published 01/26/2022 >
Question:
Im trying to replace my discontinued Rule T20S used to hoist my dinghy and see this winch was recommended. Do I need to worry about it free-spooling,inch potentially ping the heavy dinghy from mid-air? Also, Im assuming this winch can raise, and lower, the dinghy with remote control provided?
