This manual two-speed winch is engineered for confident and safe pulling of boats onto trailers or moving heavy loads. Its robust steel frame is galvanized, ensuring the winch resists rust and corrosion even with frequent use in wet or salty conditions. The dual-gear design provides versatility: the high-speed gear allows quick line retrieval for lighter loads, while the low-speed gear offers increased mechanical advantage for heavier boats (up to ~1.5–1.7 tons). The built-in ratcheting pawl mechanism securely holds the load in place when you stop cranking – adding a critical safety factor during boat launching and retrieval. This winch’s compact size and standard mounting pattern make it easy to attach to most boat trailers. It can be used with a steel cable or a polyester strap (depending on your setup), which winds smoothly onto the drum without slipping.
Key use cases and recommendations:
- Ideal for boats up to roughly 17–18 feet in length (such as fishing boats, RIBs, or small motorboats) – this winch enables a single person to effortlessly winch the vessel onto a trailer
- Suitable for personal watercraft (jet-ski) trailers and small craft hauling, thanks to its compact design and high load capacity for its size
- Can also be utilized for various pulling tasks – for example, retrieving a small boat from the water on a ramp or moving heavy equipment in a workshop or garage
- Recommendation: Rinse the winch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater and periodically lubricate the gears and pawl – this maintenance will ensure smooth operation and longevity of the winch
