I have stripped my winch of its control box as want to mount it in the engine bay and replace it with an albright.
This might be a stupid question but it there only one way to mount a winch?
Below is a picture of the winch as it would be mounted up against the bumper at the bottom of the picture. Can i flip it so the free spool is on the left and the motor is closer to the battery to reduce cable and make for a cleaner installation?
The only reason i cant see it working as the 3 horizontal silver bars you see have two at the rear of the winch and one at the front. The one at the front is currently at the bottom but if i was to flip it it would be at the top but im not sure if this would cause a problem or not. I would of course have to rotate the free spool leaver.
