Question:

Can the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Hex Drive - 2,000 lbs Item # DL11004 use a Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable with Hook - 25foot x 3/16inch - 4,200 lbs Item # FWC3250100? Will the thicker cable fit on the winch? The man on the video of the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch recommends a 7/32 diameter cable but I would like a little stronger of a diameter cable. The Fulton cable is a 3/16 diameter cable.
