• Replacement for Shelby Winch 5405 Because Handle is Unavailable

• Electric Winch for Loading Logs Onto Trailer
• The right winch for you will really depend on the weight capacity you're needing. For instance, the Bulldog Winch # BDW10042 you'd looked at has a 9500 lb capacity, but when a pulley block like # BDW20077 is used, you'll double the pulling capacity of the winch. The Bulldog Winch you'd looked at would actually be a pretty good choice for this application. I'd imagine the logs you'll be dealing with will weigh quite a bit less than the capacity offered by this winch, but choosing a winch...

• Does the Bulldog Winch BDW66FR Have an Automatic Brake While Extending and Retracting?
• I spoke to Bulldog Winch and they did confirm the Bulldog Winch # BDW66FR does have an automatic brake as soon as the button is let off. This will work while being extended or retracted.

• Noise Level of Bulldog 3400 lb Capacity Trailer Winch
• Bulldog didn't have any specific dB (decibel) figures available for their # BDW15018 3400 lb capacity trailer winch, but they stated that this particular winch is no more or less noisy than any other winch of this particular size and 3400 lb weight rating. What WILL make this winch a bit quieter than is the fact that this winch uses synthetic rope and a hawse fairlead, as opposed to a roller fairlead like a cable equipped winch would use. You won't hear the squeaky rollers turning or the...

• Does Truck Need to be on Using ComeUp 5000si Winch
• Nope, your truck does not have to be on to use the ComeUp UW-5000si Trailer Winch # CU645010. It was probably the battery that caused the issue so you're set with your new one.

• Replacement For Fulton T2005 Trailer Winch
• The Fulton T2005 2-speed winch has been discontinued, and as such there is not a replacement drum for it. While I know it's not the answer you were looking to hear, the only option we have for you is to replace your winch, and the direct replacement for the Fulton T2002 is the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142400. This does not have a strap available as it is a rope-only winch, and the correct fit is the Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable with Hook # FWC3250100.

• Can 1800 Lb Capacity Fulton Winch Pull 1500 lb UTV onto Trailer
• Using some of the high school trig I swore I'd never need again, I calculated that your ramp has about a 40% or a 22° slope. Given the slope, the fact that it's a rolling load and the capacity of the winch, an 1800 lb winch like the Fulton # F142306 can pull 4700 lbs with a 30% slope or 3350 lbs with a 50% slope, so with a 40% slope, you're well within the capabilities of the winch you've chosen. I've provided a link to a demonstration video for a 1800 lb capacity Fulton winch and have...

• Will the Replacement Wireless Remote For a Buyers Electric Winch Work on a 16 Dump Trailer
• The Replacement Wireless Remote for Buyers Products Electric Winch # 3375571000 is the replacement remote for the Buyers Products Electric Winch 5571200. If you have that winch on your dump trailer then this will not be a problem, the # 3375571000 will work from up to 50' away which will be more than enough range for your 16' dump trailer. If that is not the winch that you have or you are trying to use the # 3375571000 for some other application then it will not be what you are needing....

• Electric Winch For Use With Boat Trailer
• The Superwinch gets wired to an ignition switch, so it isn't something that is meant for a boat trailer. The fastest 12 volt electric winch that can be powered with a 12 volt battery with a boat trailer is the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm 12-Volt DC Electric Winch with Remote # DL25220. This is rated for boats up to 9,000 lbs, pulls between 15 ft/minute (no load) and 6.3 ft/minute (full load), and can run for up to 4 minutes at a time, so it will certainly be faster than 2 feet per minute.

• Is There a Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch With Wireless Remote
• We do have options for winches that have a wireless remote, but each of the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm winches, such as the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch with Remote, AC Powered - 2,700 lbs # DL25019 come with remotes that are wired in. I recommend checking out the ComeUp UW-5000si Trailer Winch - Wireless Remote # CU645010. This is the lightest-duty winch with a wireless remote that works from up to 90 feet away and has a 5,000 lb static load pull rating. I have added a link...

• Replacement for Fulton T1802 Hand Winch
• The repair kit for a Fulton T1802 (which included the pawl) used to be available but was discontinued a number of years ago, and the pawl itself is not available separately. So really the best option we have is to replae the winch with a new one, the similar Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch # F142306. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.

• Trailer Winch For 8,000 lb Boat
• For a boat that is 8,000 lbs, since you want something rated higher than 3,000 lbs you'll have to go with an electric winch because manual winches don't go as high as you are wanting. Capacity is generally 2-to-1 for boat winches (meaning the boat weight can be about 2x the winch capacity), so the best option is the 4,500 lb ComeUp DV-4500si Trailer Winch - Synthetic Rope # CU644501. The # CU644501 comes with a remote that has a 10' lead, and 50' of synthetic rope. It does measure 16-1/2"...

• Electric Boat Winch Loaded With Steel Cable That is Capable of Retrieving a 9,000LB Boat
• We have the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL24870 that comes with a 7/32" diameter x 25' long steel stranded cable. This has the same 3,000lb load capacity as the StrongArm # DL25215 that you were looking at with the strap. Maximum capacity for both winches is considered 9,000lbs when using high-quality roller guides on your trailer. The ComeUp DV-4500i Trailer Winch # CU644512 is our strongest electric winch with a steel cable. This winch is rated at 4,500lbs, which would...

• Parts Found In Pictures for CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket # CE31005PG
• The Fulton Single Speed Winch # F142306 appears to be the closest winch that we have to the one in the picture with the CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket for Winch Stands # CE31005PG. It has a similar mount and frame connection with the crank handle and switch in similar positions. I cannot tell you exactly what winch was used for this photo as it is a manufacturer image and likely the winch may no longer be in production. This winch has 1,800lb capacity and includes a 20' strap with 9" handle....

• Recommended Cost Effective AC Powered Electric Boat Winch
• I do have an AC powered winch for you but we currently do not have a DC to AC converter capable of handling the power draw of the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch part # DL25200. For a similar AC powered winch, I recommend using the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch part # DL24876. This electric winch has a maximum load capacity of 2,700 lbs which is the highest capacity we offer for AC powered winches. The winch also comes with a pulley block that allows you to move...

• How to Wire Winch Battery to Protect Wiring on Charging Truck
• I spoke with my contacts at Superwinch as well as Bulldog and neither have a solution for a way to electronically decouple the trailer winch battery from the charging truck's battery. The best way to protect your vehicle would be to run a heavier gauge wire, like part # BDW20206, directly from your vehicle's battery back to the trailer battery. With a set-up like this your vehicle would be protected should you forget to unplug the trailer connector.

• What Capacity is Needed in a Boat Winch Strap to Winch a 2015 Sea Ray SDX 270
• Realistically, it is always best to stay under the straps working load limit. But, a strap with a 10,000 lb. break strength and 4,000 lb. working load limit like the # FWS20HD0200 should be able to handle your 2015 Sea Ray SDX 270. Granted if you have a dry weight of 5,659 lbs., you are going to have a higher weight when you are winching it because of the additional weight put into the boat for use and not dry. There are also additional factors that play a part, like the severity of the...
