The Patterson YoYo Winch

Performance Marketer Patterson

Manufacturing introduced the Yo-Yo winch series designed to make ratch- ets obsolete. According to Patterson, the contained spring coil virtually eliminates injuries due to rope mem- ory as well as fouling of wire rope on the winch drum. The Yo-Yo winch requires little or no re-tightening while the barge is underway and the patented double-dog design makes for easy maximum line tensioning. www.pattersonmfg.com/yoyo
