electric boat trailer winch

[arkedup]

hi Guys

Winching my boat onto the trailer is becoming hard for me I saw these electric winches for round $120 and thought it maybe worth while to get 1

Is anyone using these winches or similar and are they worthwhile ?

thanks

I have seen these 4WD winches on boats before.

Have you thought about power supply to the winch?

hi Dave yes I have given it a bit of thought I m thinking a fused 40/50 amp positive cable from the battery into the boot that way I can remove the fuse when not in use and just use a short negative cable from the towbar hopefully that should work

Another thought when wiring, that I did with my last trailer boat, I wired a long cable to the boat batteries, had it sitting at the front and just ran it out to the winch when I needed it, made it a lot easier, when towing with someone else's car or swapping vehicles etc

thanks Ian what amp rated cable did you use ?

Check what amp the winch is, I fitted the small 50amp Anderson plugs which 10mm2 or 16mm2 cable will fit and suit the winch.

We can supply plugs and cables
