It can be used for 1/4" rope as it is the correct bump stop. The rope is able to slide into these bump stops even though they are not firmly seated on the rope.
You need to install it between the hook and the winch for it to work on any winch.
A powersports winch is the only one that uses it

Neither stopped pirate attacks nor slowed them.
It is not recommended that you use the winch without a bump stop, since you will have to let the rope dangle or you will Due to this, I have broken my cable multiple times at the hook/shackle in the past. A 5 star rating would have been appropriate because it is a good value and made of good material, but I had to drill the center out for the synthetic rope to fit. My method was to bolt the halves together and clamp them in a vise. I then widened out the center hole with a hand drill until the synthetic rope from Warn fit into it. Maybe Warn will make a bumper that fits their ropes once they get some feedback, but you never know.
I was unsure of where to place it on the cable, but I found it works best directly behind the hook in order to prevent the hook from slipping off. Powerful winches are used to haul heavy loads.
Originally, I attached my winch hook with cable clamps and fraying cable, but I wanted to make it a little neater so I wouldn't get poked by cable wires when retracted, and I wanted a stop to help prevent it from retracting. Both problems were solved in this way. In order to better protect the cable ends in the swage I put heat shrink tubes over it and then installed the Warne winch stopper By doing so, the problem was rectified and a new installation was required. It is possible to install the stopper behind cable clamps if you have them. However, since you do not have a swaging tool, taking a few extra steps made a noticeable difference. I like that the Warne winch stopper was inexpensive and came with stainless steel bolts.
There are those who say these shouldn't come with winches, and I agree with them. In addition to my rebuilt winch, I added a rubber stopper, a new cable, a new roller fairlead, and a new roller fairlead. Before I can acquire a tractor, the Swisher bucket worked perfectly.
There is no doubt that this works It worked well after I drilled a hole out to make room for the large cable but I had to use it on my truck winch so I had to drill the hole out to make it fit.
As of now, everything is going well. By avoiding winding the hook into the winch and Hawse fairlead, the winch and fairlead are protected against Users may switch between the two for a variety of purposes.
