So far from what I've seen Bill, the rope may make GREAT insulation and only
marginal pull line ; )

Re: Warn 8274 Motor Problems
 

Mike,

The design of the 8274 makes the rope the last possible heat sink for the
motor. The motor casing and the gear box are the more likely heat sink.
I'm not disputing that some heat is dissipated from the cable, but it's
probably not much. On a standard profile winch( the 8k or 9k series) I can
see how the rope would be a definite portion of the heat sink.

Re: Warn 8274 Motor Problems
 

Right you are Bill. But this is not my first time winching. I just did not
want to bore the group with the "proper" winching techniques. I'm sure you
all know them. I can assure you that the winch was not over worked at the
time it quit. Maybe the time before.....
