I'm making plans for storing my SF above my carport. I've heard about the double pulley systems, but I have another thought and wondered if anyone had any ideas related to this.
I would like to suspend my SF with rope and single pulleys and two 2" straps under the hull. I would like the entire system to reduce down to one line - how do I do that (two ropes into one, etc).
Also, I then want the one line to go to a trailer winch mounted on a post. I got one that is rated for 1100 lbs. It says you aren't supposed to use it for suspending weight for long periods of time, so I thought about mounting a clam cleat just above the winch on the post to hold the weight.
Will the winch give me enough cranking power without using a double pulley system to make it easy to lift the boat, or do I still need to use the double pulley. The winch says it has a 43:1 work ratio.
Thanks for any help.
