- Does Dutton-Lainson Sidewind Swivel 1200 Pound Trailer Jack Have to be Lubricated
- Jacks like # DL22300 come greased already and normally you would not need to add any grease unless excessive dirt, moisture, or corrosion got inside. Take the cap off of the top of the jack to inspect the gears. Inspecting the nut and screw inside would require removing these gears. If corrosion has built up on the screw and nut then that could be causing the problem.
If additional grease is needed you will need to make sure to use a compatible grease or remove all the old grease before addin

- Roller Bunk Recommendation for a Boat Trailer With 8 Feet Bunks
- Yes, you would want to use two sets of 4 foot roller bunks since your current bunks are 8 feet long.
I would recommend you go with the Dutton-Lainson Boat Roller Bunks # DL21740. These roller bunks would have plenty of capacity and would be sized perfectly. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.

- Adding Roller Bunks to a Boat Trailer with 8 Foot Carpeted Bunks
- What I recommend for you is exactly what you have suggested. Use a total of 2 sets, 1 set of each center bunk, to reach the 8 feet you need. These will secure directly to the tops of the existing bunks. You will not need to replace the bunks. I have included a link to a video review of these bunks for you.
The capacity is for a set. So if all the weight was ever on one set of bunks it would exceed the capacity. But since the weight is being dispersed it will not exceed the capacity.

- To secure a cable on the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch - 1,500 lbs, # DL11011, you will use a series of loops around the reel and gear. You will not need to use a cable fastener or cable keeper to do this. I have attached a diagram that shows how the cable should be fed through the reel and gear for you to check out.
I spoke with my contact at Dutton-Lainson and she assured me that a 3/16 inch diameter cable will work with this winch. I recommend using the Hand Winch Cable - 3/16 Inch Diame

- Bunk Roller Recommendation for a 22 ft Trophy Boat that weighs 5,000 lbs
- The capacity per pair of Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21741 is 3,000 lbs. If you used two pairs and the weight was evenly distributed you would have a capacity of 6,000 lbs. However, these rollers are 5 feet long so if you used 2 sets you would have 10 feet per side.
For a 4 feet sections you would want Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21740. However, these sets only carry 2,500 lbs of capacity per pair, so if you used two sets you would be at 5,000 lbs which is what you listed as t

- Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch Recommendation for a 6,000 lb Kingfisher 2825 Boat
- The Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215 that you referenced is designed for boats that weigh up to 9,000 lbs. Since your boat weighs 6,000 lbs dry it should work very well for you.
Also, since you have a hurt shoulder this should make loading an unloading your boat a much less painful experience since all you would need to do is activate the winch and let it do the work.

- Why Can Dutton-Lainson Offset Spare Tire Carrier # DL22120 Only be Used with Wheels Up to 14 Inches
- I checked into this with Dutton-Lainson, and the limitation on the # DL22120 offset spare tire has to do with the weight of the 15 inch tire and wheels, and not with the physical size.
The welds on the carrier are not rated to handle the weight of standard 15 inch trailer tire and wheels.
This carrier has a offset of 4-1/2 inches to the side and 4-3/4 upward. I pulled one from the warehouse and the wheel mounting plate measures 5-7/16 inches tall and 4 inches wide.

- Winch Recommendation for Lifting a 200 lb Boat 10 or 12 ft With a Drill Option
- The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch, # DL11001, will work great to hoist your 200 lb boat. The hex head allows you to use either the included handle or a heavy-duty 1/2 inch drill.
Worm gear winches are great for hoisting objects because they do not have a free wheel option and the load cannot reverse the direction of the winch.
Dutton-Lainson recommends using 9/32 inch diameter cable.

- Trailer Winch Recommendation with a Handle that Can be Mounted on Either Side
- I believe the best option you have would be to get a Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14527. This winch can have the handle mounted on either side of the winch, has a 1,600 lb capacity and gets bolted on.
The Dutton Lainson Winch # DL14521 that you referenced cannot have the handle switched because it is a two-speed winch.

- Looking for Swivel Trailer Jack with Overall Length of 15 Inches or Less
- The closest I can come to the measurement you mention is the Pro Series Pipe Mount Swivel Jack, part # PS1401060303. The total height of the jack when fully retracted is 16-5/8 inches tall, measured from the bottom of the foot plate to the top of the bracket where the handle assembly where the handle attaches to the jack tube itself. The center of the mounting pipe to the bottom of the foot plate measures 11-3/16 inches. This jack is a weld-on application, and you can see these dimensions by ref

- Dimensions of Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Universal Offset Roller Brackets, Part # DL21632
- I have attached several images of this two-piece bracket set from Dutton-Lainson, part # DL21632, with the various dimensions indicated. Each bracket is stamped with a left/right indication.
There is one additional measurement that is tough to clearly show on the photos, and that is the distance from the center of the roller hole to the nearest edge of the bracket; that distance is approximately 1-1/4 inches. Based on this distance a 3/4-inch keel roller will fit.

- What Does Minimum Operating Load Indicate on Hand Winches
- The minimum load rating indicates the load required to put enough tension on the line for it to be able to be cranked. The winch will not work properly when the line is slack.
The minimum load rating would be important if you knew for certain you would not have that much load on the line in the situations where you would be using the winch. Without the load on the line, there would not be enough tension.

- Does the Wheel and Tire Turn On the Trailer Spare Tire Carrier and Dolly Bracket # DL22144
- I spoke to my contact at Dutton-Lainson and she stated that the Trailer Spare Tire Carrier and Dolly Bracket, # DL22144, will allow the tire to spin some. It is not meant to dolly the trailer over long distances but a few turns of the wheel is more what it is made for.

- Identifying Correct Replacement Handle for Dutton-Lainson Trailer Tongue Jack
- Dutton-Lainson identifies replacement parts for its products based on the model number and/or manufacturing date code. These identifiers are stamped into the product.
Check at the bottom of the main tube, about an inch or so above the swivel caster. There should be a 4-digit date code stamped into the tube (it should be stamped in the vertical direction).
My contact at Dutton-Lainson confirmed that their products of that era (1996) did not have a model number stamped but will have the dat

- Need Winch To Hoist 55-Gallon Drums into Truck Bed
- The Dutton-Lainson # DL15504 would work for the purpose you describe, but I believe a brake winch with an automatic brake like part # FK10510301 would be better for your needs.
The Fulton winch has a 1000 lb capacity with one layer of cable on the spool, which goes down to 500 lbs once the cable is fully wrapped around the spool. The winch will not freewheel, which will prevent losing control of the load when you stop cranking. The cable, part # FWC7500100 is not included.

- How to Attach Winch Cable to the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15002
- The cable fastener, # DL24360, should be inserted into one of the holes in the side of the cable drum on the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch, # DL15002.
The packaging for the cable fastener, see attached photo, shows that it should be installed in the slotted hole in the side of the drum, but on the smaller Dutton-Lainson hand winches, DL600A and DL900A, the slot is not large enough for the cable fastener so one of the round holes must be used.

- What are the Inside Dimensions of the Dutton-Lainson Winch Cover, # DL24051
- I went out to the warehouse and measured the Dutton-Lainson Winch Cover, # DL24051. On the inside from left to right it is approximately 11 inches. Front to back it is approximately 7-1/2 inches. And the inside height is approximately 8 inches. There are some tolerances since the cover is flexible. There is also a draw rope at the bottom. I am not certain if you would be able to get the cover tight enough to withstand a car wash without additional support like a bungee cable. I made a short vide
