If the Dutton-Lainson Electrical Quick Connect # DL24086 for your Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Trailer Winch # TW4015 gets wet when launching and loading your boat you should disconnect the circuits to protect them from damage in the water. Since they are not waterproof you can risk damaging the winch and wiring if they are submerged in water.

I recommend mounting the connectors where they will stay dry and you do not have to worry about water getting into the connectors. Some Dielectric Grease # 11755 can be used to protect the terminals from corrosion if they do get a little water on them.

The closest option we have to a boat trailer winch like the #TW4015 with a longer strap is the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch #BDW15020 which has a 50 foot long strap. Dutton Lainson does not offer the winch you mentioned with a longer strap.

Answer 10

Most if not all trailer wiring harnesses/connectors use larger wires for the 12 volt and ground circuits compared to the other circuits (lights). The sockets themselves don't have an amperage rating so you will go by the draw of the things…

The brown wire of your trailer wiring would be the one that carries the running light circuit. That would be the correct circuit to use for powering the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons #CE27740. I attached an install video for this product for you to…
