Shorter Handle For JIF MARINE Boat Winch

Question:

I need a shorter handle for this unit part # 315-W3200D as the 10 inch handle is too long and hits the bottom of my boat when cranking it up and taking it out. Can you provide a link for a shorter handle that has the same spindle dimensions on the handle bolting area? I could probably use a 8 inch or below, but 7 inches would be best as that was the size of my original. Thanks

The Replacement Handle for Dutton-Lainson Single Speed Hand Winch # DL70305 mounts to the same size shaft that is on the 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch # 315-W3200D. This will give you a 7" long handle like the previous handle you had on your other winch.

You may notice that more effort is required to crank the winch with a smaller handle.
