For those of you that have had an UP-ONLY type windless, how did you cope with dropping the hook? I have found it can get away from you if you are not careful. I guess one option would be to use the drum portion although I would expect the chain to eat that up.
I have a Powerwinch gypsy/drum UP-ONLY windless on my new to me 36’ Albin with 90’chain and 100’ rope rode with a 35# CQR. There is no manual clutch to allow for using the windless and no free-fall option.This one still runs well and others have used it for 30 years so I’d rather keep it for now.
