I have a Chaparral Sunesta and have been having troubles with my winch handle. Also I have broken three winch straps loading it ono the trailer. Because the bow of the boat is more flat than a deep vee hull the handle hits the boat as I am cranking. The winch is mounted about as low as possible. I hesitate to modify the handle too much. Also the thing is a bear to pull up with the winch and I have broken the strap while cranking on the winch, typically about 12" behind the bow hook. Any ideas? Should I change to a cable on the winch? What about a two speed winch so I could move the handle as I got the boat up close?
Thanks,
Eric
