Winch Strap with Galvanized Hook – 6m / 7.5m (50mm, 2000 kg)

This winch strap and hook set is designed to make launching and retrieving your boat (or hauling any load) easier and safer. It’s commonly used on boat trailers to replace the steel cable on manual winches. The 50mm wide polyester strap spools evenly and provides a good grip on the winch drum without slipping. With a break strength of 2000 kg, the strap is suitable for light and medium boats (e.g., RIBs, small yachts, personal watercraft) and loads in that range.

• Choosing 6m vs 7.5m Length: The 6-meter strap is ideal for shorter trailers or scenarios where the winch is relatively close to the boat’s bow eye (for example, smaller boats up to about 16 ft). The 7.5-meter strap offers extra reach – recommended for boat trailers around 17–21 ft or when you need more length between the boat and winch (such as on shallow ramps where the trailer goes deep and you still need slack). Both lengths have the same strength rating, so simply select the length that best suits your setup.
• Strength and Durability: The polyester webbing is rated for heavy loads – it has very minimal stretch under tension, meaning you get a direct, controlled pull without “bungee” effect. The strap is tightly woven, making it resistant to abrasion as it runs over guide rollers or fairleads. It’s also UV-resistant, so sunlight won’t significantly weaken it over time, even if your trailer sits outdoors. This strap is built to withstand repeated dunking in water and drying, maintaining its integrity season after season.
• Secure Hook: The end of the strap features a robust steel hook with a galvanized (zinc-plated) finish to prevent rust from moisture or salt exposure. It has a spring-loaded safety latch – this ensures the hook stays attached to your boat’s bow eye or load anchor point, even if there’s slack in the line momentarily. The latch opens easily with your thumb for attaching/detaching, but snaps shut to lock the connection during towing, providing peace of mind that your boat won’t slip loose.
• Ease of Use & Installation: Replacing an old winch cable or strap with this product is straightforward – the strap’s inner end is typically looped or comes with a mounting bolt to attach to the winch drum. Remove the old cable, secure the new strap’s end to the drum, and wind it on evenly. The polyester strap lies flat and even as you reel it in, preventing jams or bunching on one side of the drum. While in use, the strap is much safer to handle than wire rope – it won’t fray your hands with sharp strands, and it’s easier to see and grip.
• Applications: Suitable for manual winches on boat trailers, ATV/UTV trailers, or even stationary winches where you need to pull loads up to 2 tons. For example, use it to smoothly winch your boat onto the trailer after a day on the water – the wide strap won’t scratch your hull, and the galvanized hook firmly grabs your bow eye or towing bracket. This is a reliable, long-lasting accessory that improves safety and ease of operation during boat launching and retrieval. It’s an essential upgrade for anyone tired of rusty, kinked steel cables on their winch.
