Expert Reply:

The Dutton Lainson winch part # DL15721 is the same as the DL2500A that you have now and has an automatic brake. This would work well for you as a replacement. Typically when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio of boat trailer weight to winch capacity needed is 2 to 1 meaning that for a 4,000 lb boat like you have the minimum capacity needed would be 2,000 lbs. Since this has 2,500 lbs of capacity it would be a little more than needed which means it would be easier to crank without being overkill.
