Fisherdv you got me thinking.
I remembered when I was talking to the original owner, older man, and he said him and his friend only fished in local lakes. Growing up on our lakes down here, I've never seen a boat hoist at the lakes for launching. So that got me thinking back when I first got the boat and I started to look at some pictures I took a couple years ago.
Then I remembered I had taken the boat into a shop the day after I got it to get the bunks adjusted because the boat sat right on the fenders of the trailer.
While I was looking at the pictures I noticed the wench was upside down and the tower appears to be in the correct position when I first got it.
So for some reason, the shop must have also adjusted the tower and flipped the wench.

I don't see why they thought that was necessary?
I think the reason I didn't notice them flipping it, is that I hadn't even owned the boat for 48 hours and I didn't pay attention to the wench on this boat prior.
Boy I feel stupid
Here's a picture of when I first got the boat and you can see the wench is flipped.

For myself, 2 things solved tonight, lol
