Trying to get out of bed

Looking for a new winch cable
Went to pull the boat out first thing this morning while it was calm before the heavy winds and I had high tide
The cable decided to split while coming up the trailer
Always F’in something

Glad you were spared injury!!

Me too. But really, the amount of rust on that thing should have been a clue.

My fishing buddy has almost the same problem. The cable looks like spaghetti on the drum. It's jammed so tight you can't get three feet out before it starts rewinding on the drum.

A month before haul out I told him to check the cable, and if he couldn't unstuck it I'd bring a come-along and we'll get it sorted. Where do we end up? Jammed winch cable and "I forgot."

He's one if my best friends, and the social glue that holds a lot of us together, but sometimes I have to shake my head to counteract the rattling he causes in my brain.

We're not even got to bring up the wheel bearings.

Yeah self inflicted for sure
While pulling it out before heading to ramp I saw the bad spot and marked it with tape so I knew where it was
I thought it was good enough to hold
Luckily it happened early on before the boat was too far up the trailer

The thing that pisses me off is the original cable was well over 15 years old and I replaced it maybe 3-4 years ago and this one didn’t last at all

I did some research and will splurge the few extra bucks and buy a higher quality one thats made by Power Winch

Thanks!!
Yeah it happened early on before it was up the first set of roller bunks so there wasnt major pressure or a snap back
Took all I had to grab it and get it back on the finger dock to regroup

Just thinking. Why not a strap? Or I guess you have a winch. I float mine on so I only need a few feet each time. Can you drive up the rollers? My BIL used to.

Finally was able to get up and crawl to the bathroom this morning. But couldn’t stand upright till about a hour ago. I wouldn’t wish back problems on my worst enemy.

Sorry Mike, I was really happy with my Laminectomy. If you want to talk and get another doctors opinion I can text you his info. He was in West Islip.

So I am filling out my paperwork at PT earlier today. One of the questions - What is your expectation of physical therapy as it relates to your life?

I attached this picture:

The answer: "Well that is an original. OK, we have a lot of work to do............."
