• Overall Dimensions of Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch F142418
  I went to our warehouse to measure the overall dimensions of the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142418. The main housing measures 6-1/2 W x 10-1/2 L x 7-inches tall. Since the housing has a slightly curved shape these dimensions are approximate. Also, these dimensions are taken without attaching the included handle. This winch includes a standard steel mounting plate designed to provide a good fit on most winch mounts. The steel mounting plate measures 5-1/2 x 7-inches.

• Recommended Replacement Boat Winch For 2,500 lb Boat
  Hi Bob, So the load rating really depends on what kind of set up you have when loading your boat. You mentioned bunks, and if those are wooden bunks, that's going to make it much tougher to get the boat on, and you'd want a winch with a 1:1 ratio for capacity. What I'd do is use the 2,600 lb Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142418.

• Can Main Bracket of Fulton XLT Winch be Replaced
  Hey Sean, thanks for reaching out! If you're referring to the part 18 in the included diagram, then I'm afraid that part isn't replaceable and you'll need to replace the entire winch with something like the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142418.

• Will a Shorter Handle Fit Fulton XLT Winch # F142418
  The 9 inch handle, # F501109, is the shortest we have for Fulton XLT winch # F142418. One thing to be aware of when using a shorter handle is that the winch will be harder to crank. If you were to go smaller than 9 inches it would get even harder. Is it at all possible to move the winch further from the boat? Because if so that combined with the slightly shorter handle could work out well.

• Recommended Replacement Winch To Replace Fulton XLT1401 For 3500 Lb Boat
  Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with half the capacity as the weight of the boat. Since the winch is only pulling the boat, you don't really need to consider the trailer weight. I recommend to upgrade to the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Heavy Duty 20' Strap part # F142418 which will work really well with the 3500 lb boat even when full of fuel. The XLT is a 2 speed winch with 2,600 lb capacity and an included...

• Can Fulton XLT 2-Speed Winch Fit Boatmate Trailer
  Hi Robin, I can't imagine there will be an issue with the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142418 fitting your Boatmate trailer but I don't have any way of knowing for certain what winch fits any particular boat trailer. That said, if the mounting plate bolt holes of the # F142418 line up, it'll fit. I added a diagram I made for you showing the mounting hole dimensions, which are 2-3/4" center to center on the top holes and 4-1/8" center to center for the middle holes.
