Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Winch
- Selecting Trailer Hand Winch for 7000-lb Boat
- The capacity of winch you will need for a 7000-lb boat depends on the specific nature of the trailer.
The factors that affect selection of a winch include the winching distance, the incline and the nature of the bunks on the trailer. The included article on hand winches has lots of helpful information that will guide you.
If the trailer is equipped with low-friction roller bunks like # DL21741, rather than plain wooden bunks like # CE27845, then you can safely use a winch with a lower...

- The 2K capacity Mater Lock winch, # 2953AT, should be plenty strong enough for a small 1,000 pound fish house. If the winching distance is short or the house is on wheels or rollers are on the trailer it will not be an issue at all. If the winching distance is long, it is at a steep angle, or there is a lot of friction it will not be as easy for the winch but it can still handle it just fine.
The winch is going to pull 20 amps pulling its max so it would not be a bad idea to have the vehicle...
view full answer... - 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...

- Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch - 3K Item # SW1130220 can handle 2,000 pounds on a 30 percent incline but keep in mind the higher the capacity on the winch the easier it will be on the winch.

- In order to determine if this winch would be a good choice for your trailer you want to know the weight of your 21 ft party barge.
This Superwinch LT2000 Electric Utility Winch # 1120210 has winching capacities of 2,000 lbs. However, boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1, so if your boat weighs less than 4,000 lbs this winch would be a good choice for you.

- Generally speaking, a good rule of thumb is that the capacity of your winch should be half the weight of your boat. If you are winching for a short distance, and you have good rollers on your trailer, you can get by with a winch capacity that is 1/3 the weight of the boat. On the other hand, if you are winching long distances with bare wooden bunks with no carpet or rollers at all, you will need a winch capacity equal to the weight of your boat.

view full answer... - Selecting Proper Winch for Boat Trailer Carrying 1500-lb Bass Boat and Motor
- The correct rating of hand winch for use on your bass boat trailer will depend to a degree on whether it has carpeted bunks or roller bunks and on the degree of incline. Rollers bunks like Dutton-Lainson # DL21741 reduce the drag substantially and will allow using a lower-rated winch since rolling loads are easier to pull.
If the trailer will typically be loaded when on a steep incline, then this will require a higher-rated winch than if it is typically used on nearly level ground. For...
