Powered Winch Recommendation for Boat Trailer with Grady 228

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a grady 228 with a f225 Yamaha. It is on a loadrite 5400 trailer with 36 rollers I think. I have been burning out the Powerwinch 912 three of them and think this winch is just not strong enough. Will the Dutton be the correct winch and if not can you please recommend one to me? Thanks

I looked up the weight of your Graddy 228 and it should be right at 3500 lbs so for a powered winch the Dutton Lainson TW4000 with it's 4,000 lb capacity would be an excellent choice. It would easily have more than enough capacity so it would handle the weight of your boat well and not fail.

Yes. There's no reason that the Dutton-Lainson Strong Arm Winch #DL25215 can't be mounted upside down as long as the winch strap isn't rubbing on anything. The capacity of the winch won't be affected with this mounting method, so…
