Fulton Trailer Winch - Standard Hand Winch - F142430 Review Video

If you're getting that much bounce out of your trailer that would lead me to believe that maybe the MORryde IS suspension system is the actual issue. Typically if the suspension is too stiff you'll start to bounce. We see this issue a…

There are two schools of thought when it comes to determining the correct sized winch for a boat. The first being that the winch should be able to handle 3/4th of the total combined weight of the boat along with the motor, fuel and gear. The second…

I have included some images with the dimensions of both the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #GY58GR and a 1621 Pin Box #LC1191151. Hopefully these images with measurements will help you find the measurement you are looking…

Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with…

Below is the general process for bleeding an electric over hydraulic brake actuator like #K71-650. Fill reservoir with NEW brake fluid. Never re-use brake fluid that has been salvaged or removed from another system. Remove the key from the breakaway…

When it comes to choosing a winch for a boat trailer, there are a few general rules we can use. The boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1. With good rollers and short winching distances, the ration can increase to 3 to 1 and with wooden…

The best option we carry for a 10,000 lb boat is the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch #F142430 which has a 3,700 lb capacity with Cable #FWC7500100. The winch to boat size capacity is 2-to-1 though it can also be 3-to-1 if you have…

I recommend using the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch #F142430 for your application. It features a handbrake and 2 speeds; one for pulling the line in quicker and one for more of a mechanical advantage. The winch has a Z-Max 600 zinc…
