Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

Progress pics, got the bottom undercoated, of course looking at the photos noticed a couple of places I need to touch up. Also blocking the body w/240 found some places that need more work. Final photo is my sidetrack on Sunday. I bought a Hickey Sidewinder winch that "was working when taken out". I took that with a grain of salt and decided to see if it did. They are 40 year old technology with dual solenoid controls, exposed jumper bars and 8 connections. The photo shows the Frankenstein wiring mess laid out on my bench mocked up to see if it does work. It did not; so the search is on to find a modern control set-up to run the motor. At some point the winch on the left will mount between the front rails and all of those wires need to be neatly concealed.
