Recommended Winch for Pontoon Boat Trailer
Question:
I need to replace a brake winch on my scissors lift pontoon boat trailer. Various size boats transported up to 25’ in length. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Pontoon boats, particularly those that are up to 25' in length, can be heavy, so I recommend a heavy-duty boat winch, the 3,600 lb Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake # F142430.
This is a 2-speed winch and als has a hand brake which gives you optimal control over your winching. It does use a cable only, and the correct one is the Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable with Hook # FWC7500100.
I have added links to video reviews of the winch and cable for you to check out.
