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 Load/Unload power switch and a freewheel clutch. This DC-powered winch is designed for boats up to 9,000 lbs and has a wiring harness for installation.by: Wayne03/21/2024
Shopped around a lot before I bought this. My boat is heavy (7500 lb) and the wench I had struggled. I took a chance on this as it was rated for the weight. I used the Anderson style connectors and installed a breaker near the battery. Pulled new wire rated for the amp draw. I couldnt be happier! This thing is a beast! Has no prob pulling my boat and cant see that it struggles at all. Highly reccomend. Photo is during installation. I put a cover over it due to my anchor comes close when launching and didnt want it to hit.
by: PontoonSarah04/12/2024
They were exceptionally helpful in deciding which winch to buy. I got this for my pontoon boat on a slide bumper trailer. I wanted to make sure it would have enough power to pull my 24 ft pontoon. This winch is honestly one of the best purchases I have made for this boat. It easily pulls my boat up onto the trailer. Total time to load about 2 mins. I have had many envious looks at my electric winch. Thank you again. For the help in deciding which one to get.
by: John 02/16/2024
works perfectly.....great product and r eputation!
by: Kevin 02/17/2023
The winch works as advertised. My boat with gear and fuel weighs in around 6500 lbs. My trailer has rollers so that does make it easier. It hauls it up ok until maybe the last 6 inches where it slows down a bit. One improvement I would make would be to have a better emergencey handle. It is quite small and if I ever had to use it I would imagine it would take forever and not sure I could generate enough leverage to pull the boat all the way onto the trailer.
by: Thomas K03/24/2018
Yes I finished the winch installation, I have not tried at the boat ramp,
however I ran the winch and am very pleased. I am also pleased at the way your company does business. Thank you. George you asked for pictures, please find enclosed pictures.

The winch appears to be good and everything it was advertised to be. However there are two problems with the wiring harness.
1. The bracket with the attached fuses is not designed to connect to a side terminal type battery. Actually I’m not sure how it would connect to an upper post battery unless there were secondary posts with wing nuts like found on a marine battery.
2. The positive side of the wiring harness is 25’ but the negative side is only 5’. If you ground the harness to your truck frame you may not be able to reach to the winch especially since the 9000 winch is for a larger boat which means the trailer yoke and support post might be further back.
I had this problem. I purchase some of the quick release adapters and made a five foot pigtail.

Very good handles my 22 foot fiberglass boat without any problem
by: Robert 08/01/2020
I have mounted the winch on my trailer. It was fairly easy. I had drill out 3/8 in. holes to 1/2 in., but alignment was already ok. I'm concerned about the 8 ft. ground cable. I'm thinking about putting a bolt through my truck bumper,putting a bolt through and clipping the ground to it.
by: Mark 01/24/2021
Works great. I use it on a 19 foot Lund Impact and a roller trailer without a problem. I recommend this product.

Great on a boat trailer. Makes loading a breeze. A wireless remote would make this winch even better. Currently in use with a 19 foot Lund boat on a Shorelander roller trailer.

Winch was delivered 3 days after being ordered. I have used Etrailer over the past 6 years and had no issues with ordering, shiping, and their products. My source for all my boating/trailering needs.
by: Garry04/18/2021
Etrailer had all the parts I was looking for in stock. The sales help was very good and the shipping was very quick. I shop here as often as I can
by: Steven 01/17/2022
It pulls my boat onto the trailer with ease and it always worked. The big thing for me is how long will it last. If it works as well in 5 or 10 years I'll give it five stars.

So far so good used @ 10 times and no problems pulling my 8000 lb. fish boat. The provided wire harness had to be lengthened to function but who cares the winch works great and a strap winch is the ONLY way to go with a boat of this weight.

free wheel froze up after two months of use.

The freewheel option allows the cable to be removed by hand. You will have to make sure that it is in the correct position to use the free wheel. If you have tried to manually adjust it and it is still not functioning properly, this item has a 2-year warranty.

See what our Experts say about this Dutton-Lainson Trailer Winch
- Recommended Electric Winch for 7,000 Pound Boat Trailer In general if your trailer is equipped with rollers and you don't have too long of a winching distance, a winch rated for 1/3 of the boat weight can be used (3:1 ratio) without issue. With this in mind I recommend looking at the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215 for your boat that will weigh around 7,000 pounds fully loaded. This is an excellent electric winch that can handle up to a 9,000 pound boat when used with the rollers on your trailer. It has a Load/Unload power...
view full answer... - Can DL Powered Winch # DL25215 be Used for 24 Foot Long Pontoon BoatElectric winches like the Powered Winch # DL25215 take all of the work out of winching in a boat at a boat ramp. Basically you just have to connect the strap and press a button and you're good. This would have more than enough capacity for a 24 foot long pontoon as well. Since this winch will pull up to 70 amps you'll need to install a deep cell battery on your trailer as your trailer wiring connector power source will not be strong enough.
view full answer... - Need A Winch For Pulling A Vehicle Onto A Car TrailerThe Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch - 9,000 lbs # DL25215 is an electric winch that is designed for loading and unloading of boats, personal watercraft, and vehicles. This winch has a 3,000 lb. load capacity. The boat size-to-winch capacity ratio is 3 to 1, which is used to determine what size boat that the winch can pull. This means that it is designed for boats up to 9,000 lbs. It can be used for car trailers. When you are pulling a load on wheels, like a car onto a trailer,...
view full answer... - Can Portable Power Source Be Used to Power Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch DL25215 A winch can be powered with any suitable 12V source so long as that source can deliver steady voltage and the current required by the particular winch for the particular load it is pulling. Current demand from a winch will vary depending on the winch itself and the load. The Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215 has plenty of capacity for your 4700-lb boat and it will draw at full load about 70-amps. The included 8-gauge wiring harness is 25-feet long and can support the winch's...
view full answer... - What is Amperage Draw of Stongarm TW9000 # DL25215Your Stongarm TW9000 # DL25215 that you have draws up to 70 amps and the 6-DZM-20 only provides up to 20 amps so it would not be strong enough.
view full answer... - Determining Boat Capacity of Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215The 4,800 pound break strength strap that was included with your Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215 actually should not need to be replaced. The included strap, like the winch itself, features a working load capacity of 3,000 pounds but can handle a boat of up to 9,000 pounds. If your trailer is equipped with high-quality rollers and is typically used on ramps where the boat will essentially float most of the way onto the trailer, a 3:1 ratio can be used for winches. Which...
view full answer... - Electric Boat Winch to Use with 5,000 lb BoatThe Dutton Lainson Strongarm winch part # DL25215 would be a great option to be used with your boat that weighs 5,000 lbs. In general when picking out a winch for a boat trailer you need to go with a winch with at least half the weight capacity of the boat so a 3,000 lb winch with a 5,000 lb boat would work really well and have more than enough capacity. This has a strap like you are wanting as well.
view full answer... - Shipping Weight of Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch TW9000The Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch - Marine - 9,000 lbs # DL25215 has a shipping weight of 30 lbs. I've attached our shipping information page to assist further.
view full answer... - Can Dutton-Lainson Electric Trailer Winch be Used with a 6,500 Pound BoatAs long as the winch is rated high enough to for your application it is safe to use. With that being said, if it's over rated that can improve the performance and longevity of the winch itself. For example, if you're always running it at its maximum capacity it won't last as long as a higher rated winch being used at 75 percent of its max capacity. The Dutton-Lainson # DL25215 is rated to pull a 9,000 pound boat onto a trailer
view full answer... - Is There a Ratchet Handle Winch for Sea Ray 27 BoatIn order to choose the correct winch for your trailer you'll need to know the weight of the boat. We typically recommend a 2:1 ratio meaning the winch needs to be rated for at least half the weight of the boat. I do have some options for you but I don't think we have a winch in the size you need with a ratchet handle attachment. I looked up some Sea Ray 27's online and they appear to be in the 5,500-6,000 lb mark therefore we'd need around a 2,750-3,000 lb winch capacity. I recommend Dutton-Lainson...
view full answer... - Is The StrongArm Electric Winch 9k Worth Replacing A PowerWinch 912The Dutton-Lanison StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215 is a great replacement for your current PowerWinch 912 as they have similar ratings, the StrongArm 9,000 is rated to pull up to a 9,000 pound boat, while the PowerWinch 912 is rated for up to a 9,500 pound boat. Additionally, the StrongArm 9000, with a full load will pull 6.3 feet per minute, making it take about 3 minutes to reel the entire reel.
view full answer... - Winch Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 11,000 lbsGenerally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with long winching distances and wooden bunks like what you currently have the ratio is 1 to 1. The only option we have rated high enough would be the Dutton Lainson electric winch part # DL25215 which has a 9,000 lb capacity. Nothing else we offer...
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Winch for 7,300 Pound Boat For your 7,300 pound boat, I recommend looking at the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215. This particular winch is designed for boats that are up to 9,000 pounds depending on angle, winch distance and type of bunks you have on your trailer. If the trailer has roller bunks instead of standard wooden units, this winch will work perfectly and have more than enough capacity for your application. This is a great electric winch that features a spring-loaded clutch lever that...

If you are pulling the pontoon onto your trailer with the bunk boards the capacity is 6,000lbs. If your trailer had rollers or as in your situation the bunk boards are submerged under water it increases capacity to 9,000lbs. The reason you see these increases is the entire weight of the boat is not being drug across the bunk boards or they will not require the full force due to the smoother rollers...
view full answer... - How Often to Replace a Winch Strap on a Boat WinchTypically the only time you will need to replace the strap is when you notice that it is becoming frayed. Typically the first 2 feet of the strap will become frayed first due to sunlight or just the fact that it sees the most movement.

view full answer... - Where Should a Dutton-Lainson Strong Arm Winch be Installed on a Boat TrailerOn a boat trailer, you will need to position the Duton-Lainson winch, # DL25215, so that the loading ring on the bow of your boat is the same height or a little higher than the winch drum when the boat is loaded on the trailer. You will need to us a winch stand or other mounting surface that is strong enough to support a load that actually exceeds the capacity of the winch. The instructions, which I have linked for you, actually cover mounting the winch in the first few pages.

Based on my research your Sea Ray likely weighs around 6,600 pounds, although I do recommend verifying this. The StrongArm works great for boats that weigh up to 9,000 pounds and as long as you aren't needing to winch the boat over a longer distance and the incline isn't too sharp, the carpeted bunks on your trailer along with the strength of this winch will allow for really easy operation.
