So I would like to hunt an area near me but to get to it you must cross a levee. Its about 100' and about 12-15' high at the peak. My question is, can i attached a winch to the front hook on my boat and pull it without screwing it up? I would use a 2000lb winch attached to a t-post and the wire attached to my boat. Its a lowe 1648 with 35GDsd Thanks Dont want to mount a winch to the front since I will only use it occasionally. |

Sure just cut you 6 4foot sections of 1" pvc and lay then out in front of the boat every 3 feet or so --- sink an anchor on the far side of the levy to winch from and you can likely just push it down the other side by hand with a handy 2x4.... I keep 2x4s and pvc in the boat at all times.... |

I use 1 1/2" PVC because of rock etc. not sure if the eye hook on your boat is welded or bolted. That would make a difference too. 2000# winch might be undersize for a dead pull. Might wan to look into a chain saw winch. We use them here all the time. There called Lewis winches. |

The levee prolly has about a 20degree incline. Would be pulling over an airboat trail. |

Like Smoke said, we have several managed areas around here that are impoundments. One in particular that has a few long dykes to pull, especially depending on water levels. There have been times the longest pull was nearly 150', and roughly 20' up and down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
