    Hi Carpe,

    I have the same rig but is early days yet as I only have about 15 hours up so far. The first service will happen next week.The dealer told me to use only premium unleaded and so far absolutely no issues starting the engine. It runs smooth, no smoke, no fumes , but I do notice that it when you go to start the motor it does not crank all that fast and I am assuming that is normal for this motor.

    I will look at the replies to your thread with interest..

    Advice On Electric Trailer Winches.

    in Boating

    Posted

    I am looking for some advice from those that have had experience with electric trailer winches. I want to install one on my Quintrex trailer to make retrieving the 560 Freedom a liitle easier for this old worn out amatuer.

    What do you recommend?

    Can you get an electric winch with the nylon webbing? Also, I am concerned that they may be vulnerable to theft when left at a boat ramp...I once came back from a fishing trip at night to find my car without a boat trailer, it is a nasty experience I can tell you.

    ....any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Ruddy
