That's it give the game away, I had an ex navy friend going for a while, he tried his hardest to explain what he thought it was until I told him, His answer was un repeatable on here :-))

Well you did ask ! MH
does anybody know what this is please.
I was hoping for technical answers, I did shoot myself in the foot a bit as I checked google and up popped the answer after I posed the question.
Probably the backlash in the winch's spur gears as the load comes off them.
