RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sub Wheels..?

[MerlinSub@t-online.de]

Somtimes we use a winch with a cable. 
The winch is on a metall plate with a hole so you just plug it over the towing hook of the car. 
But works only in one direction = up. Means is usefull on high angle slipways and on underpowered cars.  
A extensions works also downwards. Useful an shallow angle slipways/beaches.
