Trailcraft43 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Bought 2 cheap winches off ebay. Both sold cheap as power plugs were damaged, and both untested due to changing owners a few times. Bought at auction, given away etc. etc 1 was $60 Other was $30 Did a complete strip down and service n greese on both, And they work great. Replaced the power plugs with anderson plugs, and made a double ended anderson plug cable for the back of my landcruiser. Using 240v 15amp house power cable. Still need to make a stainless mounting bracket for each anderson plug-winch. Fitted 1 to my trailcraft trailer and other will go on my smaller boat trailer. Should make retrevals a bit more pleasurable. Also welded some guide posts onto the rear of the trailers. Should make single handed retrevals a snack. Edited March 7, 2017 by Trailcraft43 Added info.

raging Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 nice. Do you plan on putting a cover on the trailer guides to protect the hull ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailcraft43 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Ive made some slip in posts to use just covering them with marine carpet and yellow tongue tomorow. Also left the manual winch in case of any dramas. Edited September 16, 2017 by Trailcraft43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
