You should use the search engine and I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for. Several people have expressed dissatisfaction with the EZ STEP unit, not from it's usefulness, but from it's price. That is my recollection. The prior threads all have alternative solutions to your problem. Good luck, Greg

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
