[quote=MN3][quote]i made a gin pole to raise & lower the mast using the electric winch.[/quote]
This is KEY
I would be very hesitant to use a stock trailer mast support / winch to step or drop the mast
A gin pole uses a lever to reduce the forces needed to step a mast - (we just stepped a 45' f31R mast with a 8' jin pole and hand trailer winch - try doing that witout a jin pole ....)[/quote]
