The failures were on 2 different winches. All winches are Tim McCann winches, all have Cole Hersee solenoids. The only difference is one winch has a Ford 6V motor, the other has an Injoy 6V motor (not the new ones). We run with 12v batteries. We have replaced the solenoids with the same

George, when installing the solenoids you must use 2 wrenches. One to keep the lugs from turning (it has a nut on the lug), the other to tighten the nut. Do you know if that was done? George wrote: The Cole Hersee solenoids that had failures are the 24059 and 24037. George MeyersWD6EQS

I have maintained the Eastern Soaring League winches for several years. The one thing I've never had to replace an any of the four winches are the solenoids. There was one time when it appeared that there was a solonoid failure. Upon closer examination, it was just a loose connection that had

Since the subject came up, Cole Hersee has a solenoid that is electronic (i.e. no moving parts like your typical solenoid / relay). The part number is 48785 and it is rated at 1 million switching cycles, but you get to pay for those cycles with a cool 140 bucks. I looked at the spec sheet on

I have built several McCann winches for our club and myself. I always use heavy duty continuous solenoids. Both the Prestolite #15-133 or the Cole Hesee #24037 at about $25 each, have proven very reliable. Considering the price of what's being towed up the line, spending an extra $20 or so

Has anybody used a continous duty solenoid for a winch rather than the standard ford style solenoids we have been using for many years? I am refitting two BS F3B winches with dual solenoids and am considering a pair of Pollack continous duty solenoids, p/n 11-2570, with the dual LED warning

I have already copied your buzzer article. It looks very interesting and I will probably incorporate the system. Thanks Miamimike. I have another inquiry. What is a good scanner to use for our RC freqencies? Regards, Dave Corven. ... with the dual LED warning lights from Cal Postuma.
