Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Winch


  • Recommendation for a Winch to Load a Harley Davidson Motorcycle into a Cargo Trailer
  • You would need to consult a qualified welder to have a mount fabricated that will allow you rotate the handle 360 degrees on a hand winch. We do not stock any bolt on parts that are heavy enough to be used to mount a winch safely in this case, and you would need to tie the mount into the trailer frame for stability. We have a Universal Hand Winch Right Angle Mounting Bracket, item # DL24110, which would make the fabrication of the raised mount easier. An option I would look at, would be...

  • Correct Wire Gauge For Trailer To Power Bulldog Winch
  • When it comes to wiring up your Bulldog winch we do have a few different wiring options that you could run depending on how heavy duty your winch is. If you have a heavier duty winch you can use The Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20026 which uses 3 gauge wires. I attached a review video link below.

  • Replacement Winch And Strap For A Fulton T2605 Winch
  • That winch and it's replacement parts have been discontinued by the manufacturer. The replacement for your Fulton T2605 winch is the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142410. The correct strap is the Heavy Duty Winch Strap # DL24237 which has a break strength of 5,000lbs and will support winches up to 3,200lbs.

  • Which Trailer Winch with Synthetic Rope and At Least 6000-lbs Capacity
  • I can understand why this might be confusing, when it comes to the different ratings. Rolling capacity is essentially just the capacity of the winch to pull a load that is moving up an incline; technically the capacity that is listed is the maximum amount the winch can handle as a static load-or an item at a dead stop. The # BDW10042 you were looking at isn't going to be the best solution for you since it's a recovery winch designed for mounting on a vehicle; it also has a wire rope,...

  • Winch Stand to Install Winch onto Boat Trailer
  • It sounds like you're looking for the CE Smith Winch Stand # CE31013G. This is a stand that your winch will mount to anywhere on your trailer's tongue. It gives you multiple mounting angles and options with 14 mounting holes. It fits 2 inch trailer tongues and is 30 inches tall. If you also need a winch or bow stop I've linked our selections for you to take a look at.

  • Correct Gauge of Wiring for Boat Trailer Winch with 10 Foot Lead
  • You will definitely need a larger gauge wire, like 4 or 6 gauge (sometimes 8 is acceptable), when it comes to a winch because they pull a LOT of power for a short time. If a winch you're looking at is only offering 10 gauge wire for a winch then I'd ditch that wiring and go with something better suited for the job at hand. For a wiring kit that uses 6 gauge wiring we have the Bulldog Winch Wiring Kit for ATV/UTV Winches # BDW20307. This comes with a 120" lead for the vehicle side and a...

  • Recommended Replacement Winch for Fulton 542 Series Winch on Small Boat Trailer
  • I recommend using the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch - Rope or Strap - 2,000 lbs # F142403, which would be a comparable replacement for your Fulton 542 series winch and can be used with either wire rope or a strap. For a strap I recommend using the Fulton Heavy-Duty Winch Strap with Hook - 20' x 2" - 4,000 lbs # FWS20HD0200, which is a 2" wide strap. This winch will work well on your 15 foot Sidewinder boat and can mount to the trailer arm; it may require drilling new holes...

  • Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate For Bulldog BDW66FR Trailer Winch
  • What you're needing is a receiver winch mount like part # BDW20011. The mount will work in a 2-inch receiver on the rear or front of a vehicle. If the mounting plate of the Bulldog # BDW66FR winch is removed, the 6-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern of the winch will perfectly match that of the # BDW20011 mount. The mount has holes that would be compatible with the 10 inch center to center bolt pattern for the winch fairlead. The mount has 10-1/2 inch center to center fairlead bolt hole spacing,...

  • We do have a variety of replacement winch handles like the Replacement Handle for Fulton Hand Winch # F501110 for the Fulton 2-Speed Trailer Winch, however in order to determine the correct replacement handle, I would need to know the make and model of your winch.

  • Looking For Winch For Jet-Ski Trailer Where Handle Can Be Swapped to Other Side of Winch
  • The lowest capacity hand winch we offer that the handle is easily changeable would be the Dutton-Lainson # DL14527. The folks at Dutton-Lainson have told us that this winch is capable of being modified. The drum, its shaft, the gear shaft and pawl shaft would all need to be removed, and reversed. The gear shaft is held in place by both a nut and an e-clip that would need to be removed. I have labeled these parts in a photo I have edited for you. In other words, some dis-assembly would...

  • Winch Recommendation For A 6,800 Pound Boat
  • For a boat that weighs 6,800 pounds you would need a winch that has a capacity of at least 3,400 pounds. The Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake - Cable Only - Zinc - 3,700 pounds # F142430 will work. This is a 2 speed hand winch.

  • Dual Hitch Adapter For Towing And Carrying Receiver Mounted Winch on Car Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, but I wanted to first answer your main question and give you a little bit of information. You are correct that a rise/drop hitch like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-8 is only designed for flat towing and wouldn't be able to be used for this purpose. The problem with something like the Curt Dual Hitch Extender # D-192 is that using something like this reduces the total capacity of your hitch by 50%, so it would really put a dent in what you can safely...

  • Recommended Replacement Winch For A Fulton T2605 Hand Winch
  • The winch you reference has actually been discontinued as well as the replacement shaft you're looking for. With that being said, the best option is to replace the entire unit with a newer unit. I know this isn't what you wanted to do, however with the winch you have and the replacement parts being discontinued, this is the best option. If you're interested, you can use the 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap and Brake # 315-W3200D for a replacement.

  • Boat Winch Trailer 2-Pole Trailer Connector
  • I do have a solution for you, but there aren't any adapters out there that will allow you to power your boat winch from your 6-way trailer plug. Since your winch uses 8-10 gauge wires, you can use something like the 2-Pole Socket Connector # 337TC1002 on your vehicle. This just wires to the positive and negative terminals on your vehicle's battery. Check out the video linked below for more details.

  • Receiver Mounted Winch Plate and Wiring Kit for Winch on EZ GO Golf Cart
  • In order to use the # e98989 ATV winch in the 2 inch receiver on the front of your EZ Go golf cart, you'd want to use a Trailer Hitch Receiver Winch Mounting Plate like part # BDW20061R2. Keep in mind, the winch might have a 5K capacity, but you'll be limited by the capacity of the receiver on your golf cart. The power lead is 6 feet long, if that's not long enough to reach from the front of the golf cart to the battery, you can get longer cables such as the 10 foot # BDW20307 which includes...

  • What Hitch Extender/Adapter Do I Need for My Reese Winch?
  • I have a solution for you. The receiving end of the Hitch Extender for Brophy Hitch-Mounted Stairs # RHSE is only designed to fit Brophy Hitch Stairs # RHS2. Unfortunately, they will not be able to accommodate your Reese winch that is compatible with a 2-inch receiver. With that being said, if you need a hitch extender that will fit with your winch and allow for an additional accessory, I recommend the MaxxTow Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 10" Long # RM-077-10. It is important...
