Question:
I have a dock that has a 5/8inch galvanized cable and need a winch with a spool that can hold about 20-25 feet of cable so as to let it in and out with ease. Do you have a winch that would work for that need
asked by: Jim
Expert Reply:
For a winch that could bring in over 20-25 feet like you said you need you could use the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440. You will need to also get a Hand Winch Cable # DL24104.
I am not sure if you were planning on using the 5/8 inch cable you have on your dock, but in case you were you would not be able to since the cable is too thick and its not winch cable that is designed to be wound tightly.
