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.

Video Transcript for Dutton-Lainson Trailer Winch - Electric Winch - DL25720 Review
Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Dutton Lainson StrongArm electric winch. Now, this winch is built for multipurpose hauling and pulling operations. It does feature the built-in detachable handheld remote. This allows you to control the line in and line out functions from a safe distance. When we say built in, what you gotta do is just plug this unit in right here to the port that's built into the body of the winch.When it comes to the braking, we're looking at two different braking systems on this unit. We have a dynamic motor break, which helps bring the load to an immediate stop without coasting, and we have a mechanical friction brake, which locks the reel to hold the load.
The clutch lever is located right here on the side of the unit, it has two positions. You have your engaged gear position, and then you have a freewheel position and you just rotate it that direction. Move it to a freewheel mode, and that option allows the table to be removed by hand quickly and easily. This is a high-torque, 12-volt DC motor. It includes circuit breaker overload protection.
Comes with the necessary wiring harness. We're looking at the cabling that's included. This is a flexible high-strain, seven-strand by 19-gauge galvanized aircraft cable. It also has the pulley block and snap hooks included for double line pooling. This is 50 feet of cable, which is great for double line operation, and each hook has that safety latch or safety snap hook, which keeps the load securely attached.It also comes with an emergency crank handle that comes standard and it is designed for use in the event of power failure.
The area where you insert that is located right here on the side. You remove this plug to gain access to the connection point for that manual crank handle. Now, internally, the unit features heat treated gears to provide smoother, quieter operation and greater strength. We're looking at precision needle bearings in high load areas to create low friction and promote longer life. Also, it has the die-formed base.
This is adaptive for quick mounting applications. That's designed to be a universal mount and it does work in a variety of situations or for a variety of applications.The casing is a high-impact, weather-resistant case, provides excellent protection for internal components. It's also safer than open reel models. Right here on the front, we have the brushed stainless steel front plate for superior rust resistance. The product's made in the USA. When it comes to the load capacity, we're looking at about 1,500 pounds. Double Line capacity is 2,200 pounds and that rating is based on 10-foot of pull. The current draw, 70 amps at 12 volts. Electric wenches should be used intermittently, so the maximum continued runtime is . continuous run time is four minutes. For this unit, gear ratio is 189-to-one, and when it comes to your load speed and feet per minute, no load full reel is 16 feet per minute. Full load full real is 4.5 feet per minute. It's a really nice winch. Again, you got the handheld remote right here, allows you to control the in and out functions from a safe distance. You got your wiring harness, fuse protected. Really, the last thing I want to go over is just the measurements here of the unit and the base.We're going to take a look at the mounting plate. Measures around 8 3/4 inches that direction. Then side to side, this direction. It measures around 3 and . inaudible 00:03:54 say about 3 7/8 inches side to side. When it comes to the overall measurements of the unit, if we take a measurement of the overall length . I'm going to measure from the back of the unit to the front of the unit, and I'm getting a measurement of about 10 3/4 inches. The overall height, tallest point, which is right here at this point, I'm going to say that that measures about 8, maybe 8 1/4 inches tall. Then the overall width, going edge to edge . to the outer edge of this handle here. I'm going to say that's about 8 1/4 inches wide. That's going to do it for today's look at the Dutton Lainson StrongArm electric winch.

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.

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.

Received the winch and all looks good. I ordered a new boat trailer so the winch hasn't been installed yet. Will let you know when it's installed
by: Andrew05/12/2024
The product is great. I replaced a 2001 Strong Arm with this 2024 Strong Arm on my Floe Vertical lift. Having the remote control built in is very nice.
by: John03/23/2024
Works great! The only thing that would make it better is to make the tensioner knob easier to grip when your hands are wet
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: Rudy 03/29/2023
Easy to install, works great. Moves a 650 lb load with ease. Noah at customer service was very helpful and professional
by: Joe S06/19/2014
I purchased this winch to replace a Fulton K2550 manual winch on my ham radio tower. My tower is 54 ft tall when extended and 21 ft when retracted. It takes about 170 turns of the winch to raise/lower the tower. I removed the hand winch and placed the D-L SA9010AC winch in the existing mounting holes. I like this winch since it comes with a stainless hub since it will be used outside. This winch has a 2700 lb load rating. I am lifting around 700 lbs. This winch comes with no cable or freewheeling clutch. I reused the 1/4" stainless cable on the winch. I raised the tower and it took 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Lowering took 2 minutes. Well within the maximun run time of 3 minutes. The cable length winched was 17 ft. I have raised and lowered the tower several times to work on the antenna's and it worked properly every time. Attached are several pictures of the installation. I already recommended this winch to another ham operator.

Great experience.
by: Gary04/28/2020
To whom it may concern,
The power cable that came with the winch is 4' short. It was mounted on the front of a boat trailer and I have a full size pick up.
by: Eric 04/27/2023
Arrived in timely manner . Easy to install. Replaced hand crank on my boat trailer with this electric winch . Getting older and have some back issues . Works perfectly. Rather than connecting and wiring to car battery I use a portable battery in back of my car .
by: C. Michael04/07/2020
Installed this electric winch on an existing DavitMaster davit. Easy install utilizing existing manual winch plate and hardware. Salesperson was very knowledgable and helpful. Very satisfied with product.
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.
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: Michael08/13/2022
They provided prompt service and gave me some valuable input about winch operation.
by: Todd08/16/2023
The hoist has stopped working after 5 months .
by: Kenneth10/01/2022
The trailer winch is a huge help in allowing me to load my boat onto my trailer, especially this year (summer 2022) with water levels in most Minnesota lakes very low. The low water levels prevents the boat from floating up on the trailer in many cases - Muscle is required to pull the boat onto the trailer. This electric winch provides the muscle and saves my 65 year old body from the task.
I power the winch with a 12 volt jump starter and I've used it approximately 60 times thus far without problem. I keep the jump starter in the back of my SUV and then hook it up when I'm ready to load my boat on the trailer. This saves the trouble of wiring the car for the winch and it works perfectly.
Why 3 stars? Because the wiring at the connection from the remote cable to the winch was poorly done and failed within 1/2 year. I had to redo the 3 connections at the end of the remote cable and the 3 connections going into the winch. Very poor job by Dutton-Lainson connecting the wires to the connectors - Inexcusable for a $500 item.
I had a couple questions while installing the winch and etrailer was very helpful in answering those questions. This is why I buy from etrailer and not elsewhere. They both charge a similar price and the technical support that etrailer provides makes it a no brainer - I will always buy from etrailer.

- Availability of Dutton Lainson Strongarm Winch that Can be Used for Vertical LiftingI spoke with my contact at Dutton Lainson and she stated that the StrongArm Electric Davit Winch, # DL25720, would work well for vertical lift as the winch does not have a clutch. I have included a link to the installation details for the winch below.
view full answer... - Availability of the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch without Clutch # DL25721Yes, we do have the Dutton-Lainson # DL25721, Electric winch without clutch available. It is just like the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25720, that you were looking at but without the clutch. This winch will be suitable for short-distance vertical lifting applications, but not involving people, or loads over where people could be present.
