Yes, that is correct. If you have enough cable, I’d feel more comfortable,
though, with 3 wraps. Make very sure that the end is secure and clamped down.
Also, pay close attention to the location on the tower where the cable
attaches. When I raised my used tower for the first time, I hadn’t. It turns
out there were 2 positions I could attach it to; one of them was wrong.
