Some questions for the SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) here.
I have a Ramsey REP 9.5E and will be replacing my Winch Cable with Synthetic Line within the next few months.
-My winch specs say that it will hold 15' of 5/16" cable on the first layer of the drum so do I need to have at least 15' of heat guard? I notice that most heat guards are 10' and don't want to leave 5' of Synthetic Line exposed if it needs to be protected.
-How many times has anyone used the power out and heated up the drum? What was the situation if you did?
I'm not an avid off roader right now but I may in the future. I also usually lean toward the rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Thanks,
Dion
