We've just installed my new 16 gourd rack and lonestar pole. Boy, for the novice those instructions were not very good. :x Is the winch cable suppose to be inside the gourd rack sleeve, or on the outside?

Pretty sure it goes inside, Tammy - I will run out and take a look..... Yes - it goes up from the winch, inside sleeve, over pulley, and back down other side of pole - I cannot see where wire attaches on that side, but if you have other questions, we can help you when my husband gets home. I am pretty sure he can assemble one while wearing a blindfold. :wink:

Thank you Louise. It's how we have it, but we just weren't positive.
