The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL14958 you asked the question from is a great option for your boat lift. This is a very nice option that will keep the handle from free-wheeling and possibly hurting someone. The automatic brake stops the load when hand cranking stops.

Another great option is the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch - Cable Only - 2,500 lbs # F143201. This also has an automatic brake and a zinc finish rated for 600 hours of salt spray.

Both have a 5 year warranty. The biggest difference is the enclosed versus exposed gears.

As long as your winch is a Dutton Lainson B series winch, you can use the #DL6456 socket on it. The socket fits in 1/2" drill and measures 13/16" x 13/16" (outside). The number that you mentioned is just a number used to identify the…

The gear ratio of winch #DL24844 would be 18.75 turns of the handle for one complete revolution of the drum. You could say that one revolution of the drum is 3-1/8 inches and that would be 288 turns of the handle for 4 feet. You might be able to…
