What size is your 24v alternator?

55amp. Should be plenty. The winching tends to be over faster, the motor does it easier and running 24v through a 12v motor produces less amps. Most of the guys I drive with are running 55 amps without a drama.

Nice mate. What clearance have you got between it and the battery tray??

Yes twice the volts means half the Amps.

I think aout 50mm. Not to concerned. I have the options to buy a new shorter belt that would bring it back in. It's near the end of adjustment so a 20 to 50mm shorter belt will still fit.

How well do the motor windings like double the voltage?

Love it mate. Nearly everyone I know that has a himount is running 24v through their 6hp 12v motors. Apparently there is a possibility of wearing out the brushes faster but there are no complaints.

Avoiding winching out and stopping the run-on by switching the opposite would not be pretty but the thing bloody fly mate and pull like a 14 year old.

I am fitting a Deltatek Air Freespool and a GigglePin brake shaft and fitting an Allbright Solenoid. This thing will be a beast mate!

The last couple of trips out with some of the Vic guys they have seen a Himount used for the first time on Liftlids car, they reckon they are great! My 24v setup will Blow them away!!

You mean crates car when he was plowing through that hole?

That raised a brow or two with some members.

Mine has been used twice now. I pulled down a tree in the back yard and moved a dead tree blocking the entrance to shit creek.

Nah when we used Gary's winch to winch up 5 cars on the arvo of the Spit. When Jonny dented Winnies car and you made a mess of a nice little hill.
