This may be a stupid question, but I plan to replace my trailer winch cable. It is the steel aircraft cable style. Currently, the cable comes from the bottom of the winch to the eye on the front of the boat, but all the pics I have seen of other trailered Sundecks like mine, show their cable coming from the top of the winch to the boat's eye. Does this matter? I mainly ask because when I winch the boat up to where it needs to be to ride, the cable rubs a bolt and maybe the cable coming from the top of the winch instead would help that? I am thinking the winch only turns a certain way, though, and it's probably how it was originally intended to be from the factory also. I just want it to be correct...which it may be fine as is and I can just do a simple replacement.
