There is now right and wrong answer here, that covers all cases. Every case is different. As I increasing got tired of cranking my dock up far enough to keep the inner legs clear of the ice, I know take the inner legs off the dock, and raise the dock to about 30 degrees or so... it puts some what equal stress on both the cable and pivot point...I have often though of discontinuing the winching almost totally by removing all the legs, and just pivot the dock 5 to 10 degrees....
no aside from that, cable diameter, winch rating, etc all come into play here when thinking about what is necessary....
