Pretty close. The third one actually isn't used for anything, but yes, the first one is for the kicker and the other one runs a winch. We've got an...interesting way to do this without running both at the same time.

One way bearings?

You got us! I'll post a whole picture of the system sometime next week. It works surprisingly well.

Where did you get the 1-way bearings? Are you using the ones off of bike freewheels, or did you get them from some special source?

We got them from a specific manufacturer and pressure fit them into sprockets. I'll find out where we got them tomorrow and post it here.

So ones for the kicker and the others for the Winch... so is the third just for support?
