Determining Your Load Capacity
A common ratio for determining your winch load capacity is 2:1. For example, a 2,000-lb boat would require a 1,100-lb winch. There are extenuating factors, however, that will determine the appropriate winch size for your purposes.
The ratio can be stretched to 3:1 in instances when the trailer in use has high-quality rollers and is most commonly used on ramps where boats float most of the way onto the trailer.
In contrast, using a boat trailer that has wooden bunks, lacks self-alignment capabilities, and is most commonly used on ramps where the boat must be winched most of the way onto the trailer reduces the ratio to 1:1.
Note that pontoon trailers and other special designs require special consideration when determining winch capacity.
| Percent Incline | Multiply By |
|---|---|
| Level Surface | 10.0 |
| 5 (3 degrees)) | 6.67 |
| 10 (6 degrees)) | 5.02 |
| 20 (11 degrees)) | 3.40 |
| 30 (17 degrees)) | 2.61 |
| 50 (26 degrees)) | 1.86 |
| 70 (35 degrees)) | 1.53 |
| 100 (45 degrees)) | 1.29 |
Determining Your Rolling Load Capacity
To calculate your winch's rolling load capacity - the amount of weight it can pull up an incline - you must multiply the winch capacity by a factor determined by the degree of the incline.
The multiplication factor shown includes a 10 percent rolling friction factor. Note: A 5 percent - or 3 degree - incline is a 1/2' rise in 10'. Follow the chart to determine your winch's rolling load capacity.
Mounting Your Winch
Note:
All Dutton-Lainson StrongArm electric winches are built for multipurpose hauling and pulling operations. They are not to be used as hoists for lifting, supporting or transporting people, or for handling loads over areas where people could be present.

Take the strain out of loading and unloading your boat with this electric winch, featuring a power-in switch and a freewheel-out clutch. This DC-powered winch is designed for boats up to 4,000 lbs and includes a wiring harness for easy installation.by: Darren02/03/2018
Put this winch on my Ranger 620 boat trailer a year ago and love it! Haven't had a single problem and it helps trailering when I fish alone. I ran power and ground from my truck battery to a back bumper plug, and have a separate removable cable (shown in pic) to connect truck plug to the winch plug. Grounding to the truck didn't work for me. I have another spare cable and plug rolled up and attached to my trolling motor battery for when my buddies drive. Winch prevents power loading and drawing sand into the motor. DL24055 adapter plate was needed and I put a coupler lock up through the middle of the winch to prevent theft and I bought a cover (shown in pic) to keep the rain out. etrailer sales and support are absolutely fabulous! They helped me figure all this out.
by: Raymond 11/29/2023
I love the winch for the strap is a great upgrade than the power winch with metal cable which would rust, wire strands would break off, and cut your hands, and the cable would not retrieve back on winch even. The cons I see is the strap has become dried out after use on the end at the hook and it wants to double over on same area. Another concern I have is you have to tighten the clutch knob very hard when retrieving in or it will back off and free spin back out. Just have to wait and see if this becomes a problem in the future.

Works great, fit my trail weight boat trailer, with a 24 foot pontoon
by: Al K.06/15/2017
I am a 77 year old man and having to hand winch my small sailboat up on a shore ramp that I have. It was getting to be a bit much, so I decided to look into a 12volt winch. The Dl25200 fit the bill, works great. I have a 12volt battery next to it and a 10 , watt solar charger to keep the battery up, I hope. Time will tell. The service at etrailer was great, good price and fast shipping. Thanks
by: Mark C05/14/2024
Absolutely a great product I have used before. The trailer is a great company to deal with.

Works well, thank you.
by: Michael05/01/2018
I installed this winch as a replacement for the standard winch on my Magic Tilt trailer for my 21ft. SeaFox. I replaced the winch so that my wife would not have to hand crank when helping me load the boat. I only wish I'd done it sooner! It works like a charm, the install was simple and it has held up well. I keep the winch covered with a tarp to keep the rain off of it and I'm sure that has helped. The SeaFox weighs about 3000# plus the weight of the motor, fuel and whatever other junk we've got onboard. If you are looking for a good electric winch to make your life easier, I recommend this one.

After a year of use, we are still very pleased with our purchase and would still recommend this winch.
by: Frank05/10/2022
This has been a great purchase. As I get older it is becoming more difficult to load my boa. This has made using my boat much easier.

GREAT
by: Craig 05/11/2020
This winch has performed great! I wish I would have put this on a long time ago. I'm pulling a 18' aluminium boat on the trailer when power loading is not an option.
Only thing to consider is your path for the wires. I started out following the wiring harness from the back of the truck and ran out of wire. I had to follow the frame on the opposite side for the shortest run. This works fine.
Agian, I sure wish I would have put this on years ago!
by: Cliff09/11/2020
I use this to load my boat. Works great. Easily pulls my 16' Alumacraft boat the full length of the trailer. I also like that this winch uses a strap instead of a cable.
One suggestion is to make sure the black clutch knob stays engaged during operation. Also, order the wiring plug cover. It is not listed but available.
by: Ty06/13/2019
Beware! Read the specs carefully. We have a 3,900lb boat and a 32 roller trailer. On an average incline boat ramp the winch can barely pull the boat up. The last 3 ft or so the winch cuts out.
Their rating are based on something like a 6 ft pull.
1,500 lbs pull.
Previously we had a Powerwinch brand 4 k winch that pulled our boat out fine. Tree fell on it so we needed a replacement .
The next size up in DL is a 9,000lb winch
We thought that was overkill. Turns out that was probably what we needed. It has a 3,000 lb pull rating. If you take your boats to different launches you know they can vary a lot on the incline. Wouldn’t be fun being at a busy ramp and your whimpy winch couldn’t pull your boat on the trailer. Very disappointed in this winch.
Another $300 boat anchor.
by: Boscodad06/28/2020
Installation on the trailer was straight forward. Running the wiring from the battery to the rear of the truck, and doing a nice job was a little tough.
The winch has worked as advertised , and loads my 18 ft boat without any problems. But having to plug the power cord in at the bottom of the boat ramp is an additional step to get used to.
by: Julie M03/21/2020
This is a game changer for my husband who has a bad back. Makes loading the boat on the trailer so much easier! Works like a charm!

so far so good would like to have option to purchase male and female plug in connectors like the ones included with the winch
by: Thomas 08/27/2021
Good quality, works fine although it grunts a bit on the last couple of feet. I appreciate the use of a pretty universal power connector. Changes of or additional vehicles made so much easier. Like the strap rather than wire rope.
by: Joel W07/24/2017
Great product, used it every day for a week on a 19' glass boat/roller trailer. Used a lawnmower sized deep cycle battery mounted on the tongue in a box. The battery has many more pulls left in it without a charge. Increasingly, boat landings in WI are no power load. This is much safer and easy on the body.
by: Van11/28/2018
Boy what a difference this product makes, should have had one years ago. Easy to install and works great (no more hand cranking the boat onto the trailer). I would recommend this winch. Top it off with the great customer service at etrailer.
by: William06/12/2018
I haven't installed this part yet but I have to say the service was REALLY fast. I ordered it on Tuesday and it was here Thursday. That's great service, after I install the winch I'll write another review. I'm sure there will be no problems with the equipment.

the mounting holes dont quite line up with the crank holes so I had to drill new ones to make it fit the trailor. also the cables should be longer to reach all the way to the full size truck battery. other than that it works fine
by: KenS06/22/2017
Purchased a strong arm electric winch to get our boat out of the water. Should have purchased it at least 20 years ago. It sure works great and makes loading the boat so simple and hassle free. Great for us older folks.
by: Richard H08/10/2020
This winch works great on my Lund boat with. 60 hp Mercury. I can now easily load my boat onto the trailer even with arthritic shoulders. Takes a little longer, but oh so much nicer on my arms!
by: Paul07/16/2020
I am totally pleased with everything about the winch and etrailers service. Read the instructions as you need to loosen tension on the spool when you store for a long period of time. It is easy to release after you do this, but it is easier to avoid by following instructions.
by: 06/13/2022
I just used it for the second time on my 19 ft Lund boat works great! Could not believe it bolted to the same bolt holes of easy load trailer crank wrench.
by: Jose R.07/07/2017
Receipt of the trailer hitch was fast. Very well packaged. Hitch is every bit as expected. Very happy with this purchase!
by: Bill E04/27/2017
Wow! These guys are the REAL DEAL! I shopped around and etrailer had the perfect winch for my boat, the most detailed specs, the BEST PRICE by far, FREE SHIPPING and on time delivery! Need I say more?

We have several mounting kits available depending on where you would need to mount the winch. I have included a link to the installation details for this winch for reference. You can use Dutton-Lainson Mounting Adapter Plate, # DL24055, which comes with the mounting plate and the hardware necessary for installation. Or, if needed,...

You could say that one revolution of the drum is 3-1/8 inches and that would be 288 turns of the handle for 4 feet. You might be able to adapt the wheel to the winch but it hasn't been tested with that type of apparatus so I cannot guarantee that it will work. And you are correct it would be less revolutions and easier to turn. There are other electric winches you could use and...
view full answer... - Electric Winch Recommendation for a Boat TrailerThere are different ways you could wire Superwinch LT3000 # SW1130220 so as not to have to have the ignition on to use the winch. However, this winch is not really designed for use with a boat trailer. I recommend something more suited for boat trailers such as the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm # DL25200. This winch features a strap rather than a wire rope so it will hold up better in marine environments. It does feature positive mechanical braking so it can hold a load. To mount it on a trailer...
view full answer... - Electric Winch and Battery Charger for Boat TrailerSo there isn't a recommended size of battery because you'll be using a 12 volt, and there isn't going to be enough difference (in terms of size) that will matter in regards to using one over the other. I also wanted to point out that batteries do not charge from your 7-way, they only get maintained, so to charge a 12 volt battery you will need a separate charger, the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger # 329-GENIUS2. Then for an electric winch Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Dutton Lainson Electric Winch that Won't ReleaseI spoke with my contact at Dutton Lainson and he thought the most likely problem you are experiencing is that the clutch gear and 120 tooth gear are stuck together. He said that in high humidity situations where the winch hasn't been used in a while this problem can arise. You will need to remove the cover and there will be two gears right on release shaft that you will need to pry apart with a flat screw driver. If that doesn't solve the problem the next most likely situation is that...

A comparable electric model is the Dutton-Lainson # DL25200 Electric Winch with 1500 pound capacity featuring a sturdy 20' by 2” strap, and it includes wiring harness for connection to your tow vehicle. Installation will require some drilling for mounting to the Kar Kaddy frame, and bolts, nuts, washers and lock washers to attach. I have included a link to this product and a review video.
view full answer... - Can the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch be Used on a Jet DockThe Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch part # DL25200 is primarily designed to be mounted to a boat trailer but I see no reason as to why you could not attach one to your jet dock. In order to power the jack you would need to also mount a 12 volt battery to the winch and then you would need a battery charger to keep it charged such as the CTEK MULTI US 7002 part # CTEK56353. You may also be interested in the Dutton-Lainson Winch Cover part # DL24051 if you will be storing the...
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Winch for Center Consult Key West Fishing BoatThe winch for a boat trailer is selected based on the weight of the boat. As a general rule of thumb we use a 2:1 ratio meaning the winch needs to be rated for at least half the weight of the boat. If the trailer has rollers or bunks this can increase the ratio but 2:1 is still a safe bet. I looked up some stats online and it appears to be a fairly light boat so pretty much any of our winches will do the job. I recommend the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch part # DL25200...

view full answer... - Emergency Crank Handle for a Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch The Dutton-Lainson Winch part DLB800A that you referenced is not an electric winch. It is a brake hand winch with an 800 lb capacity which is similar to our part # DL16331. With that being said, all of the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winches have some sort of built-in manual override. If they did not come with an emergency crank handle which was the case with part # DL25200, you can manually operate the winch with a 5/8" deep well socket.

- Battery Box with Solar Charger for Boat Trailer Equipped with StrongArm Electric WinchThe Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Marine Winches come in varying capacities and all are shown on the linked page. For example, the 4K model # DL25200 will draw 40-amps and the 9K model # DL25215 will draw 70-amps current so the right battery box and charger will depend on which one you own and what size battery you'll be using to power it.

It would easily have more than enough capacity so it would handle the weight of your boat well and not fail.

view full answer... - Is Fuse or Breaker Needed When Installing Dutton Lainson TW400 Strongarm WinchThe power wire of the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25200 has a circuit breaker built into it so you would not need to install any additional fuses. The breaker is rated for 40 amps. I attached a review video for this winch for more info as well.

She stated that the winch is not designed to serve as a boat strap when traveling so this is not recommended. Once pulled in and onto the trailer with the winch, the boat should be safely secured to the trailer using additional mounting straps and hardware. This particular winch has a load capacity of 1,500 pounds for a boat of up to 4,000 pounds. I have attached...
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Winch For Loading A 600 lb Boat In Shallow WaterThe Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25200 will be a great choice for a boat of that size. The 1,500 lb capacity will be plenty strong, even if the boat is loaded close to 600 lbs you will still be well under the max capacity. Even with dry wooden bunks, there will be no risk of an undersized winch. I like this Dutton-Lainson winch because the housing protects it from the elements, which is ideal for marine applications. They are made here in the USA as well.

Both these have mounting holes which run down the center of the mounting plate for attaching to most boat towers.
