A few questions

I have a honda 8 hp motor that I am gonna be using to power my winch. The only real hang up for me is gearing. I will most likely use a 10t CC with 40 chain, so what size sprocket and spool would be best? Will I be able to do deep water starts with this setup for 170-190 lb riders?

Thanks in advance.

I already know what I am going to use for a line my, I just don't know anything about the gearing.

anywhere from 65 to 72 will work fine with your engine and clutch

Thanks for the help, any advise on how big to make the spool with that combo.

anywhere from 6 to 8 inch inner diameter should work fine... i run 12 60 8 on one of my winches and 12 68 7 on the other... (drive sprocket, driven sprocket, inner spool diameter)
