Re: Back Driving Problems
Yes, we did something a little different that may work for you. We mounted a 36 tooth sprocket onto the side of our winch using bolts. As the winch spins, the sprocket spins with it. We then have a pneumatically powered lever with a steel pin mounted to it. When the lever is engaged, the pin rests inside one of the grooves/teeth of the sprocket preventing the winch from back driving. It works very well. If you are considering this, then I can post a picture.
I don't know what your setup looks like, so it may be hard to fit a sprocket on your winch but it worth a try.
