I know a few people on this forum use this (or similar model) winch to pull their cats out of the water, or up a bank and seem to have little or no "duty cycle" issues
The 1 time i tried to use the winch ...
I was goofing around with it for a little bit prior to use with no load but was running it to "cleanly" reeve the cable
when i did hook it up to the trailer just a few min later (not giving it much time to rest..) it was not a "clean" (straight) pull, and the fairlead was not in place, and i was having issues so the loads were not constant..
I would guesstimate i was able to move the boat/trailer about 50' before it shut down
This was in the middle of summer here in fla (aka the sun) and it was hot and muggy ... i am sure that all added to the ridiculously poor results i had[/quote]
