I have been considering a mile marker hyd winch IMO it has these pros
1. completely sealed
2. no electronic upgrades needed ie. 2nd battery, hi output alt etc
3. low profile
the main con i see is you have to have the engine running to use it of course. This leads me to my main question. How many people have actually been in a situation that you could not run the engine and needed to use the winch? Im thinking if you are that far under water your are screwed anyway and better have a friend use their winch to get you out. Feedback would be much appreciated.
