Barge Unloading Facility Build

EsP,

That all makes perfect sense.

I ran out of daylight yesterday so my testing had to stop. And, now with the switch all finished, I can test out changes much easier.

I am not total committed to a single drum setup. Been thinking about how I might run a drum at each end of the dock instead of a closed loop like I have now. Wonder if I'm not going to have room for, or it is going to require a really long drum. I'm winching at a very minimum 19", and possibly twice that. Maybe today I can measure the ratio of distance traveled to cable walk?

My thought about that, I wonder if it will be a problem with one drum "growing" and the other shrinking. Which would cause slack or strain in the cable.

And, I actually found a toggle switch exactly like you describe, but I'm happy with the current setup. I'll get a few better pics today and possible a video.

Thanks for the info! It really helps me works out problems by describing stuff like this.
