Hey guys! We bought 9500lb rapid mount winch for our trailers. It is set up to be used in a 2" hitch receiver so we will be able to swap between trailers. Should be easy enougb to fab something for the car trailer. Anyway, on our gooseneck, it has two smaller pieces of C-channel welded to the neck risers and at the top it has a piece of 8" I-beam welded between them (cant see it in the picture but arrow points to its location). That looks to be an easy place to mount the winch. Wondering if it is strong enough as-is, or if it should be gusseted? Secondly, is it bad to have the winch mounted that high above the deck? This is a winch that will get used a couple times a year at most. Thanks!
