[TowerTalk] 12v winch

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

Lot of disclaimers here.
The duty cycle is very low.
The winch is not necessarily
designed for controller descent.
(It is for getting your jeep
out of a rut; not for doing a
controlled descent down into
a rut).  The brake is not
necessarily designed for long
term holding.  Etc.

Whenever you repurpose something,
it takes a lot of due dilligence
to confirm that it will work in an
unintended application.
