Re: Winch problem

Do you have your motor controller set to "brake" instead of "coast?" That can help some.

We have the same problem and are planning to give the CIM a little voltage to hold the system in place. That will eventually burn out the CIM, but they are pretty rugged and will probably survive. We plan to bring some extra CIMS!
