Here’s a hot one for ya…mine is also sewn on. When recovering the boat the winch is slipping on its axle. After years of service it can now barely develop enough tension to pull the boat up onto the bunks. The spring ratchet is functioning properly. Where do I put The Tool? :)
The ratchet system may not hold the load in the other direction. It's manufacturer and model specific! Example : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-la40fNwqYpA.htmlsi=RK2kF7nxY1qYfWT8
