Thanks for your input Eric. I used a pulley setup on my last rig and it worked out fine. I had a Rule Electric Winch that had a retrieval rate quite a bit faster than a Powerwinch so it didn't take much more time to retrieve the boat as opposed to a single pull Powerwinch. To me Rule winches are a lot less complicated than a Powerwinch (just a single planetary gear as opposed to several shafts and gear reductions on the Powerwinch). I've owned 2 Rule winches with no problems whatsoever and they were used quite a bit. The electronics will be installed either today or tomorrow on my new 235. The Simrad A24 Autopilot is back ordered until March so that won't be finished. I'm planning on posting pictures sometime this week if things work out and I can figure out how to do it. Can't wait to wet those fishing lines again. Eddie
