Hi,

I am installing a power winch to my 55' crank up tower. A question for =
you tower guru's...

On the current hand winch the wind-up drum is perpendicular to the cable =
supply (coming off a pulley), which is 15 feet above. Can anyone =
anticipate any problems with mounting the new electric winch drum =
parallel to this instead? This would make fabricating a new mounting =
plate much simpler.

Rick, W1TY
