A good addition to a winch, if your running alone are a few pieces of 3-4" diameter PVC pipe to roll the boat on. Especially if you run areas with a hard bottom. A spud pole has doubled for me as a leverage tool. I place it under the boat lift move the boat a few inches... repeat. It's slow but it will get you to deeper water or off a bad spot. I carry a PLB as added security on all my boats. A Spot PLB can be picked up for $100 + activation & monitoring and is a small price to pay for added safety. |

I haven't thought about a winch for a while. I considered one in the past. Question: What are you guys carrying / using for a pull point or anchor in situations where there is not a tree or stump handy to connect your winch lead to? |
