Jack,
Thank you for the information. I purchased the EZ-Step system. Do you need a winch with an automatic brake to help lower the mast in a safer manner? What would happen if you lost contol of the winch handle while lowering the mast?
Regards,
Steve
An automatic brake would definitely help out as a safety factor. If you lost control of the handle of a standard winch, (which is what I have) you would make a lot of noise and hopefully nobody gets hurt. I haven't had any trouble with my standard winch, but I do pay attention to my grip and my surroundings when using it.
Jack
