Question:

I have a Turnbuckle fastener on my trailer and it’s a 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 DHL trailer, and I would like a winch and rubber bumper instead, what can you offer?

For your 1986 ski Nautique 2001, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch item # DL15440. It looks like your boat weighs 2,400 lbs dry and is almost 19' long so this 2-speed 3,200 lbs winch would work perfect. I'm not sure if you're using carpeted bunks or roller bunks but the item # DL15440 has plenty of capacity to work with both.

You'll also need the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook, 2" Wide x 20' Long - 4,000 lbs. item # DL24242. We do not have a complete rubber bumper assembly. You could use the CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket item # CE31005PG and the Boat Trailer Rubber Y-Stop, 3" x 3 " by Dutton-Lainson item # DL21732.

I am not sure how a winch stand would work with your current set up but if you would like to email me back a couple of pictures I would be happy to take a look and make some more specific recommendations.

Curt recommends the use of 250 ft/lbs of torque when tightening the nuts of their hitch balls with a 1 inch diameter shank like the part #C40034 that you referenced. The general rule is for a 3/4" shank tighten to 150 ft/lbs For a 1" shank…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
