Question Cool little idea :D

Ok.. so we are thinking of having a kicker that is winded by a wench to a certain tension measured in pressure. I would use a pressure sensor to get the exact point to stop winding the wench. Then i would need a soleinoid or some switch to allow me to switch gears to realease the tension quickly. I think i might know how to do this... i'm not sure any ideas?
