The invention relates to a winch (10) comprising first and second end frames (14,16), a drum (20) coupled between the first and second end frames and configured to rotate to wind or unwind a cable, a brake (30) configured to resist rotation of the drum when engaged, a switch (66) configured to cause the brake to engage the drum when the switch is activated, a slack arm frame (36) having a first end engaged with the cable and a second end pivotally coupled between the first and second end frames, where the slack arm frame is configured to pivot between a first position when the cable is taut and a second position when the cable is slack, and a cam (62) coupled to the slack arm frame and configured to rotate with the slack arm frame to activate the switch when the slack arm frame is in the second position. A mounting bracket (110) coupling the switch to the first end frame is provided, wherein the mounting bracket is adjustable between a plurality of locations on the first end frame by loosening and tightening a single fastener, each of the plurality of locations positioning the switch at a different distance from the cam.
