Auto braking keel winch
Auto braking keel winch
Added missing question "While trailering is it best to lower swing keel onto trailer or ride with the winch cable holding the load?" Now after 3 years experience it's a no brainer. But just discovered my keel pin bracket condition I wonder if bangs from the road aren't knocking my rust loose. I see a work storm approaching.

I like to drop the keel onto the yoke of the trailer, that unloads the cable and the stress of a 800# keel on the winch and bridge deck on your 30+ sailboat as you bounce down the road.
