Electric Winch Recommendation for Boat Trailer that Weighs 6,000 lbs
Question:
Trying to choose between DL 24870, DL 52001, and DL 52010. What are the differences?? Last two have remotes but what other differences are there? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
When picking out a boat trailer winch the general rule of thumb is that you need a winch that has a capacity that matches at least 50 percent of the total trailer weight. So since your trailer weighs a total of 6,000 lbs a 3,000 lb winch like the Dutton Lainson part # DL24870 that you referenced which has a 3,000 lb weight capacity would be a really great option.
