  • How to Determine Correct Winch Capacity for Boat Trailer
  • The general rule for winch capacity relative to boat weight is that if wooden bunks are used the winch should be rated for at least half the boat weight, a 2:1 ratio. If roller bunks like # DL21741 are installed on the trailer this dramatically reduces the winch's work load and a winch rated for 1/3 of the boat weight would usually be sufficient, a 3:1 ratio. The incline angle when winching also affects capacity. Just the same, any product like a winch or jack that is used well below its...

  • Can the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Ram 1500 Move 3,000 lb Boat Trailer
  • As long as the tongue weight of your 3,000 lb boat trailer doesn't exceed the 500 lb tongue weight rating of the Draw-Tite # 65062 then this will work great for your 2016 Ram 1500. I recommend using a cover like the Draw-Tite QSP # 63080 or Skid Shield # 6771 to help protect the front receiver when not in use. If you use the skid shield then I also recommend using a locking hitch pin like part # e98880 to help deter theft.

  • Weight and Ease of Handling of Classic Accessories 9-Foot Pontoon Boat CA69660
  • The Classic Accessories 9-Foot Pontoon Boat # CA69660 has a total weight of right around 71-pounds so it is certainly not much heavier than many well-equipped kayaks and canoes. But unlike those boats # CA69660 is made of three separate pieces, the two pontoons (that have quick inflate/deflate valves) and the sturdy tubular steel frame. This means that once you've finished your day's paddling you can easily separate those three components and handle each individually as you load them...

  • Dimensions of Yates Rubber YR8000 Boat Trailer Keel Roller
  • The Yates Rubber # YR8000 keel roller has a 3-3/8 inch diameter at the ends, a 2-1/4 inch diameter at the flat spot in the center and is 7-3/4 inches long. The roller would use a 5/8 inch diameter shaft such as part # CE10725A and would mount using panel brackets like # CE10303G that would attach to the trailer crossmembers. It sounds like you have a good idea of the set up you need. The keel rollers help guide the boat onto the trailer so that the hull sits straight on the bunks. The...

  • Is the Titan BrakeRite Waterproof
  • In order for something to be waterproof it needs to be able to be submerged under water for a certain amount of time and not allow any water in. I spoke to my contact at Titan and he informed me that the Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator is water resistant, but not water proof. What this means is that as long as you do not submerge this unit under water you should be fine. It will withstand rain but you would not want to let it get submerged. These get used on boat trailers...

  • Towing Capacity of 2013 Honda CR-V and Recommended Hitch and Wiring
  • From what I was able to determine from my research, the 2013 Honda CR-V has a towing capacity of 1500-lbs, so as long as the boat and trailer weigh under 1500-lbs you can tow it with your vehicle without damaging it. If you need a trailer hitch to tow your new boat, I recommend using the Curt C13119 because of the durability of the powder coat on the Curt hitches, which is important for making sure that it doesn't get rusted. There are some other things you'll need to tow a trailer, including...

  • Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire Pressure For a 10' Aluminum Row Boat Trailer
  • The Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10066 that is on the Wheel and Tire Combo # AM30820 will need 80psi of pressure when the tire is cold. It is best to verify the pressure in the coldest temperature it will operate before driving. The manufacturer accounts for the tire warming up with higher temperature and when the tire gets warmer from the friction of driving. With having such a light trailer and boat you can have them weighed with all your gear to ensure you are using the correct load...

  • Will The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL10770 Replace a Shelby 5377?
  • While I cannot confirm if you will be able to use the same shroud I do have some measurements of the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL10770 which you can use to check. This winch has an overall width of 7-41/64", length of 8-21/32" and is 6-41/64" tall. I was unable to find any information on your Shelby 5377 to verify its dimensions or weight capacity. The winch itself has a Zinc TUFFPLATE finish and powder coated drum to be able to withstand being exposed to the elements. Dutton-Lainson...

  • What is the Correctly Rated Winch for 5,000 lb Boat With 25 Degree Angle?
  • Thank you for the detailed diagram. There is a way to determine the correctly rated winch, and that is to multiply the winch capacity by a factor determined by the degree of the incline. So in your case, 26 degrees, which would make the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch - Marine # DL25215 the option I recommend. It has a 3,000 lb capacity so you need to multiply 3,000 by 1.86 (the correct number for a 26 degree incline) and that will tell you the capacity of this winch for your...

  • What is the Towing Capacity of the 2015 Ford Escape wtih 2.0 Ecoboost Engine?
  • From what I am able to find, it appears that the 2015 Ford Escape 2.0 Ecoboost engine has a towing capacity of 3500-lbs; so you'll be able to tow any boat and trailer combo under that total weight. We always recommend confirming that with your owners manual, but you can also check with your local Ford dealer for confirmation of what your vehicle is capable of. Since you need a hitch in order to tow a boat with your vehicle, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75782 since it is the only...
