AJ: What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we'll be checking out a replacement hand crank winch strap from Dutton-Lainson. Now when you buy a winch, it doesn't necessarily come with the best strap for your application. With a bigger boat here today, the strap that was on the winch that came with it didn't hold up, so we've got to replace it with something way more heavy duty that's going to last a longer time. Let's take a look.We're going to have the strap side by side, you can see why we needed to replace it. This one's stitching, it doesn't have as much as our new heavy duty one here.
It looks like there's more compact and reinforced stitching there. This one only has a couple passes of it and that's probably why it started ripping up like that. And before long, it'll probably rip completely off. The strap itself is thicker. If you look at that and see how it looks compared to this seatbelt style material, way thinner.
I know this one's going to hold up longer just by looking at it.You also got the hooks. So it's rusty now, and the snap guard just stays in place. It's not supposed to do that. It's supposed to snap. Watch this on the new one.
It's supposed to do that. So when you hook it on, boom, it's reinforced just in case it's loose and it pops back like that. It doesn't pop completely off the loop we've attached it to here. Not to mention the hook itself is way thicker than the old one. It has a tensile strength of 10,000 pounds.
So overall, you can see how much of an improvement this strap is going to be to the old one. This winch strap is 25 feet long by two inches wide. It also works with winches up to 3700 pounds and has a breaking point of 6600. It's definitely time to get this one off the winch and install the new one.So I'm going to back out the strap so I can get to the hardware. It looks like when they installed this one they ran it through the holes here on the side to keep it in place. So I'm going to try and work those out. Another option you have is you could just cut it and move on. We're going to try and get all this old strap out. We're going to run a bolt through the back end here of the winch and make sure it goes through the loop here to the other side. And now we had to use our own hardware today because the 3-inch and 3-inch and 1/4 bolts weren't long enough for our winch. Once that's through, we'll go ahead and add the nut on the other side.Nice and tight, but you want to do it too tight. You don't want to warp the winch itself. With that tightened down, I'm going to try and remove my hand. The bolt's going to move up and down a little bit, but that's fine. It's not going to come out. So we'll start rolling it up. I'm going to try and make sure it stays in the center. So pull back on the strap a little bit as you roll it up. With that wound all the way back up on the winch I'm going to inaudible 00:03:06 our hook to our boat and tighten it up.Now we replaced our hand winch strap. That's it. It was that easy. That does it for our look at a Dutton-Lainson hand winch strap. Hope this helped.

Just installed, nice.
Much heavier than old.
Will give it a work out this weekend ...
HAVE NOT ISTALLED IT BUT IT SEEMS GOOD
Direct replacement!
Just what i ordered!!
Looks good and heavy duty.
Great so far.
One heavy duty winch! Using it on a 22 ft plate boat. The standard winches came apart on this trailer. Highly recommend it.
You manage to deliver exactly what you said you would.
Works great on my 2 speed winch. Bought a drill adapter for the winch so I can take off the handle and winch my boat on the trailer. The extra strength strap worked great for that!
I have found on two occasions where etrailers were able to find the exact part. I did not like the factory brake controller on my 2017 Durmax. It would shut off all brake inputs due to the slightest weakness sensed in just one of 4 trailer brakes. This was very disconcerting Since I live in the mountains of Colorado. The Chevrolet dealership I bought the truck from said there is no fix for that and external trailer brake system could not be added. Etrailers had the exact brake controller and the service number to give to General Motors so they could correctly install the brake controller. My latest purchase was for surge brakes of a 1996 Atwood break system. Atwood has long since gone out of business but E trailer was able to find the exact fit from another namebrand. My hats off to the trailer and the supportive staff that was able to patiently help me through these difficulties.
Replacement strap, from Dutton Lainson. I can trust that this strap will do its part to keep the boat on the trailer. It is now my 3rd strap in 14 years as I replace them every 4-5 years. It is worth it knowing that the strap is from D-T and rated for the load.
Nice strap. Way better than the seatbelt material.

Much higher quality than oem.
Heavy duty strap, also came with mounting bolt so you don’t have to re-use old bolt. Looks well made and should hopefully last a while
excellent quality products, fast shipping. I ordered a winch, rollers and a coupler hitch. etrailer will be my first choice in the future for trailer supplies and equipment. Thank You!
Used this strap instead of the wire cable the winch came with. Excellent quality for marine use. Easy to swap out.
The shipping was fast and no problems and will order again . I installed the winch and strap with no problems. The holes lined up and used my old hardware. I used the DL24250 strap it’s a little heavier then my old strap..
Well built product that has been working great. It is a bit over capacity for my boat but it makes loading a breeze when I am on a steep ramp.
Heavy duty boat winch strap.does what I need.
Heavy duty winch strap. Excellent quali ty.
Exactly what I needed to replace worn strap on trailer. Heavy duty, good length, easy install.

Strap is what I expected.
