- Recommendation for an Electric Winch to Pull a 28 Foot 7,000 lb Boat Onto a Trailer
- When winching your boat onto a trailer, a common ratio for determining your winch load capacity is 2 to 1. For example, a 7000lb boat would require a 3500lb winch. There are other factors, however, that will determine the appropriate winch size for your purposes.
The ratio can be stretched to 3 to 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...

- With a 5,200 pound rated trailer and a 4500 pound boat you are getting to the upper end of the capacity rating for winches with a strap. That is most likely why your winch has a cable installed on it.
Some winches are set up so that a cable or a strap with hook can be used. If a strap, item # DL24251, can be used on your winch there will be holes in the cable drum sides, directly across from each other, to put a bolt through that the strap attaches to. If your drum is not set up in this...

- The Bulldog Winch part # BDW10031 would be a great winch for your application. You would want to center the drum with the center of your trailer so that when pulling the vehicle onto the trailer it would be pulling it straight and not to the side.
Having the winch in the very front of the trailer would not be a problem either. That's generally where most people mount winches. The cable is 47-1/2 feet long so that wouldn't be an issue at all.

- Some winch manufacturers will stamp a model number and brand name on the base of the winch, so you may be able to identify the winch that way. If you do not see a model number, but you know the brand, I may be able to identify the winch if you can send me a picture.
If the winch is the original winch for the trailer, you may also be able to contact the trailer manufacturer with your trailers VIN and they should be able to tell you what winch they put on the trailer when it was built.

- Pulling cars onto a trailer will undoubtedly require pulling the vehicle up an incline, which will add extra resistance to the equation. If you are pulling a rolling load, not dragging the car and no flat tires, up just a slight incline like a 3 degree slope the weight capacity of the winch can be multiplied by 6.67 times, see hand winch article, Winching on an Incline, which I have linked for you to review. A steeper incline causes more resistance and reduces the rolling load capacity...

- We have plenty of winches that will pull a 500 lb load on your trailer, but we do not have any winches that were designed to mount on E-Track rails. A winch should be mounted directly to the trailers frame structure or to a structurally sound mounting bracket attached to the trailer frame.
The Master Lock Electric Trailer Winch, # 2953AT, is a good option. This winch has a 2,000 lb line pull capacity, but it has a 6,000 lb rolling load capacity and a line speed of 6 ft per minute. If the...

- I do not believe a hand winch is the way to go with a car hauler and a 3500 pound car. It is usually recommended that a winch have at least the capacity of the weight of the rolling load for trailer applications but the hand winch will need to be mounted above the bed and on a pedestal that will allow the handle to be rotated above and below the winch, much like a boat trailer. This would require some extensive fabrication.

- The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW15017 actually comes with its own mounting bracket. The problem is that since you secure the winch by threading the bolts through the bottom of the bracket to the bottom of the winch you would have to permanently mount the winch by welding it to your trailer.
If you plan on just leaving the winch on your trailer then this is perfectly acceptable as I confirmed this with my contact at Bulldog Winch. If you have a way to customize a bracket on your trailer...

- Choosing the correct electric trailer winch for your needs is a bit of a tricky task. The weight capacity of a winch will be affected by many factors such as the weight of the object, angle at which the object is being pulled, the number of layers there is on the drum, in addition to static vs rolling loads.

- It sounds like you do not have a winch with the right capacity. A winch should make it easier especially with rollers so I do not think the rollers are the issue, I think it is the winch.
Its easy to find the right capacity winch for your boat trailer. The boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1. With good rollers and short winching distances, increase the ratio to 3 to 1. But with wooden bunks and long winching distances, reduce the ratio to 1 to 1.

- For an electric boat winch the Dutton Lainson part # DL25700 that you referenced would be a really great USA-made option that would mean no more winch cranking. If you preferred a hand winch the JIF part # 315-W2500D would be a really great option as well. This comes with a strap, has 2 speeds, and will be easy to crank and reliable. See attached review video.
