I am looking for either pictures or a diagram of the rig that you describe in your Otter 2k book for your rig mounted on 2x4's.

Thanks.

Here is a diagram. The rack is approximately 32" wide and 10' tall. The winch mounts on the side. There is a pulley at the top and two eye bolts at the bottom.

Is this rig built from dimension lumber or steel.Is the winch electric or hand crank? How do you secure the feet to the eye bolts? I assume you use cable with the winch?
It really looks slick, thanks for sharing this idea. If you have photos I'd really like to see them.

The frame is 2X4's. I use a hand cranked boat winch with rope. The clamps for the feet are made from vice grips.

The whole thing is described in my Otter 2000 book.
