I spoke with my contact at Fulton and he said that the Fulton Model 881 winch that you have is an older unit. He checked on his end and they do not make any parts for that winch anymore.

We do carry a wide variety of hand winches for your boat trailer though. If you could let me know what the weight of your boat is and the setup of your boat trailer (whether it has rollers or what kind of material the boat rests on) I can give you some recommendations like the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14627 which is rated for 1,800 lbs or the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440 which is rated for 3,200 lbs.

I spoke with my contact at Dexter and he said the 21-37 oil cap is obsolete and was replaced with the 21-36 oil cap, #RG04-270. This cap includes the o-ring and plug.

Answer 5

Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with…

The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2 Speed - Direct Drive - 2,500 lbs #DL14830 will only ratchet when being pulled in. The output will free-wheel and allow you to control that free-wheel speed with the integrated hand brake. The hand…

You can indeed use a 2 inch wide winch strap like the 25 foot long #DL24249 with the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch #DL15504 that you referenced. This particular winch can be used with either a polyester strap like this one or wire rope, so you are good…
