How to Reduce Rolling Friction on PWC Trailer to Allow Use of Single-Speed Hand Winch DL16003

Question:

Thia is the perfect measurements in which i need for my exsistening mounting area. However, each off the jetskis are at least 500LBS. Do you rhink this will still work. I cant get a 360 handle as they wont work to how close the skis come to the winch, so ratching is the best choice. But do you habe a bigger weight capacity like the DL400?

Since the Dutton-Lainson Single Speed Hand Winch # DL16003 fits your mounting area and has the handle type you need, I suggest you consider just reducing the friction on your PWC trailer by installing roller bunks.

Roller bunks like # CE27700 substantially reduce friction between the PWC and the trailer and this means the 400-lb capacity winch will have to work less hard. This not only makes your loading easier and faster but it will also extend the life of your winch by reducing its workload.
