Re: Winch

I heard people talking about how the motors can be backdriven. This is just a quick easy way to keep the spool from backdriving. the pins on top of the spool have one flat side and the stop would basically act as a ratchet so you can spin one way but not the other. The brake would have to be hinged at the red part in the back.
