I just purchased a new trailer winch on clearance for my boat.
The reason for the purchase was…. I thought the new winch looked easier for my wife to use. Every time we tried to load the boat she would have problems getting the winch hooked up and cranked up. Sometimes I would have to jump in and help her. So I saw a winch on clearance with a real simple ratchet pawl hoping this would help her out.
So I’m installing the new winch and the instructions are written in fifteen languages and the pictures are drawn with a big crayon. I can’t figure out where the strap is supposed to go….. So I’m looking at the old winch and notice that the crank turns Righty loosey and lefty tighty.
So I go Duhh!!!
But, then I screw up by telling my wife the great discovery of why she can’t get the boat on the trailer.
She wants me to take the new winch with the really nice ratchet pawl off the trailer and fix the old winch……………
