Running a winch "in reverse" (winding the cable the wrong way,) and feeding it over the top, instead of the bottom, is not a good idea.
Under load, the stress on the drum is taken up by a thrust bearing at one end. If the winch is loaded under the opposite rotation, there is no thrust bearing to take up the stress.
