I can't get this installed right. My winch stand is not flat like yours, it is at an angle and the winch post is 2 inches thick and not just a thin flat plate. The holes are drilled thru the winch stand in the right location. I can't use the Fulton F2 bolts becuase they are way too short so I bought some 3" carriage bolts with nuts. Here's the problem -- The upper/center bolt wont stay in place to go thru the holes when I lean it upright against the winch stand. Does this Fulton F2 only work on winch stands that are thin/flat plates? Also when you are tightening the nuts to the winch stand, doesn't it make the entire bolt spin around? I don't understand how it's going to tighten without having a wrench or ratchet inside the winch to prevent the bolt from spinning in circles when tightening
As long as your bolts are long enough I don’t see why it has to mount to a flat plate like this one. @ 3:50 the carriage bolts slide into the grooved slots and those slots actually hold the head of the bolt. It took putting the winch in place and my finger holding the bolt head down in place to keep it from pushing out - that’s the reason for the low torque specs…because it’s the cast aluminum frame that holds the bolt head. Hope that helped and you can get it working! It’s been a great winch
Thanks for showing a clear step by step. Awesome job. 42nd like.
Thanks so much for making this video. I was going nuts trying to figure these instructions out.
Thanks Troy! Glad it was useful.
Awesome video! Not too long, just the right amount of info and excellent camera angles.

How do I know if you assembled it correctly if you didn't use the instructions?
Because it’s working properly
Nice video. Thanks
🤙🏼You’re welcome.
nice, but 9 o'clock is control release, 12 is neutral, 3 is rollup tighten
On my winch, I reel like the video so 9 is rollup tighten, 12 neutral and 3 is control release.
