Thanks Todd
I’m usually by myself also.
I love the idea of the electric winch with a remote - let us know how that goes.
So far I have not had sideways leaning issues that couldn’t be controlled easily from the crane as the mast is on the way up or down - even in some pretty heavy wind.
I will be lowering the mast this Saturday while on the mooring so that when I motor over to the ramp at dusk, I can haul-it and go -
Shhhh! - long silly story about municipal permits, trailers and tow vehicles.
