Sean,how do you like the synthetic rope? How well does it evenly wrap around the spool? For whatever reason, the person who bought my trailer new, had an overkill 9500 pound Warn winch installed under the floor, and according to the Warn website, that winch comes with over 100 feet of rather stout cable. I have never needed to unwind more than 20-25 feet, so I am considering either cutting off much of the excess cable, to allow the cable to lay lower on the spool, or maybe change to a length of synthetic rope. My only concern with the synthetic rope, is that since my winch is mounted under the floor, the line comes up thru the floor, and runs over a roller. I wonder how the rope would hold up running over that roller. Also, since the winch is mounted under the floor (aluminum checker plate material) does anybody know if a wireless remote control would work OK with the winch buried under a metal floor? Like others have said, the cable for the winch controller is too short to reach the car , so winching the car into the trailer by myself usually requires having to stop a couple of times to make steering adjustments, until the car is 1/2 way into the trailer. I don`t really want to cut into the remote harness to lengthen the wires.
