Yes, that sounds right. The 9mm braid I got has a breaking strain of 9.6 tonnes. That is satisfactory for me, if I need extra pulling power I an always put in a snatch block or two.

Then, being under-wind, I could lift the whole winch up three - four inches and the rope won't rub on the rails of my deck (being mid-mount rear facing).
