Hello again Jeff, My winch in "Dhana" turns easily and the pawl detent motion is crisp and solid. I'm all in favor of keeping this little jewel operational and ordering spares if they need to be fabricated. I've got a few metal experts as well up here in my neck of the woods. (4 degrees above outside my window). Please keep me posted! Thanks, Bones _____________________________________________________________ Click to compare life insurance rates.
