To replace your old Shelby winch I recommend using the 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap - 2,500 lbs # 315-W2500D which has a zinc plating on it to help fight off corrosion, so it's a great solution for boat trailers or car/ATV trailers that might sit outside quite a bit. This winch comes with a strap included, so it's got everything you need right out of the box.

I've linked a short review video of this winch for you to check out.
