AC Powered Electric Winch for 100-Foot Winching Distance

Question:

I need a electric winch which will get my small ski boat out of the water. I need 100foot line cable. Motor must be 110volts as I want to plug in at my house. What would you suggest?

The AC-powered winch I suggest for your application is the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL24872 which is rated for 2700-lbs. This winch includes a 25-foot winch cable with hook. This winch will accept a 7/32 cable up to 90-feet long so you could replace the cable with part # BDW20223 which is 55-feet and link a strap or other wire rope of your preference.

Note that my contact at Dutton-Lainson mentioned this winch has a 3-minute duty cycle so to avoid overheating you'll want to operate it continuously for no more than this amount of time.
