Fulton142420 Trailer Winch, Two-Speed, 3,200 lbs. Capacity, No Strap, 10 Inch Handle, Silver

The winch on my boat broke and I decided to get something larger since mine seemed to struggle to pull my 3500 lbs. boat. I decided to get a larger one since mine was rated for 1200 lbs. I figured a bigger one may be better. It was. I don't have to struggle the last foot to get the winch to pull the boat all the way. One thing to warn about. The larger cable this winch uses has a really strong memory. When I first installed the cable on the winch I tied it to a tree and pulled tight to wound it on the spool. When I let the tension go to put it on the trailer it unwound itself. After several uses in the hot Florida sun it still tries to unwind itself when I launch the boat. I am anxiously waiting for the day when it will stop doing that. Other than that this winch is made like a battleship. It is large but the holes lined up with the smaller Fulton one that I took off. I decided against an electric winch because I use different vehicles to pull the boat and I would have to rewire all of them for an electric winch. My son also uses the boat so that would be another rewiring. But at 68 yo I will consider an electric winch next time even though I am not comfortable with an electric winch around salt water which is where I always launch. I never launch in freshwater.

Its not made cheap

Super strong, my boat weighs 4500 pounds loaded and this wench reels it in like butta

Nice heavy duty wench but no holes to run a bolt thru for a strap. Instructions indicate you need to use an anchor bolt to use the strap but ended up drilling the hole myself.

Nice heavy duty , just what I was looking for!

Great use

Winch is made good two speed works great

Awesome

High quality, expect it to last a long time
