OK, so here is the shake down..................FAIL
The "swing" was a big fail. I didnt make it to hold tight,but to swing in and out with out a way to lock it in place.While pulling pots, the arm would swing in ward, so one person had to hold it forward while the other pulled in the pot.
The "rocking" motion of trying to keep it steady flipped the front pulley off and away it went to the bottom of the sound
SO I made some modifications, I cut off the quick mount and welded a plate on the bottom and drilled holes in the plate. I can now screw it in to the Scotty mount for a rock solid mount
I picked up a new pully from Sportco ($44) and squeezed the hook so it cant fall out again
But, I had another fail last weekend
The wheelchair wheel that I mounted is to far from the boom and the rope kept falling off of it, so we still had teh front pully and that was way easier then pulling on the side of the boat.
Again with another change
gotta move the wheel right next to the boom, that should help with the line angel
Rich_S, I like that motor,may have to pick it up and modify it to work with a boat roller
Crab season is just around the corner
