If you're getting a new retriever,or changing the motor, it seems like a
12V wind is in order. I wonder if there isn't a way to play with the
existing windings to accomplish the same thing.
On a slightly related topic, I've discovered that for winding line onto
the winch at a reasonable speed, at least on a 12V wind, a battery
charger is nice and slow. Since the charger is probably current limited,
it might work for the usual 6V wind as well. To tell the truth I don't
recall which setting on the charger I used, 2 amp or 10 amp at 12V, or
the 6V setting. Probably if you lay out hundreds of yards of line in the
grass it won't have enough oomph.
