Default Re: Mounting Elec Winch in My Enclosed Trailer ????

I have a Superwinch installed in my Pace. I actually just spoke wth them ( Superwinch) about upgrading to the nylon rope. Their advise was not to do it. The drum with the nylon rope combo generates an excessive amount of heat and will cause issues with the brake and bearings. Now, if your winch is designed for it, no issue. My SW 3500 was not.

I fabricated some 1/4 plates formed at 90' to bolt to my center frame tube. These mount directly to the winch and center the load on the frame. Not going anywhere. I mounted my battery directly above my winch to optimize floor space.
