In Response To: keel cable (wilf)

We almost thought about converting it to rear cable and putting a electric winch on the floor and making it a wood step there, but I wondered where the water line would be, for instance the rubber tube in front, I wonder where the water stops at in the tube, this would determine how high we would have to mount the winch on a false floor, I have a feeling the water goes up in the rubber tube a ways.

One down side to that rear cable is it probably would collect allot of debri and seaweed. Also whether the exposed cable would cause any vibration while moving along.

Hi Wilf, I can not see your picture you posted?
