Re: AndyMark winch

Hi there,

What size air cylinder are you using? The ones that we recommend installing on our Sonic Shifters are not powerful enough to release a winch under the load of a catapult. You may need to switch to a much larger bore cylinder, or use a lever arm to get enough force to fully disengage the dog gear.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
