• Mounting a Winch in a Boat House to Pull a Boat Up a Launch Ramp
  I am assuming the boat is on a trailer when stored in the boat house which will make things a lot easier. So basically what you could do is use a winch that can pull/lower the trailer and boat up and down the ramp. To load the boat on the trailer you would need to mount a winch to the trailer. For a winch to mount in the boat house you could just go with a hand winch such as # F143201, which has an automatic brake, with cable # DL24100. If the boat house has AC power then you could use...

• What are the Differences Between the Fulton 143200 Winch and the F143201?
  I sure can and it won't take long. The Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch item # F143201 weighs .9 lbs less than the Fulton 143200 and we do not carry the 143200. Other than that according to Fulton they are identical 2,500 lbs capacity brake winches. You'll want the Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable with Hook - 25' x 3/16" - 4,200 lbs item # FWC3250100. The item # F143201 does not work with straps. What are you needing a winch for?

• Solution for Fulton T1401 Winch that Needs Repair Kit
  Due to the age of your Fulton T1401 winch we don't have a repair kit available for it. It has been discontinued so as a replacement I recommend the Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch - 8" Long Handle - 1,500 lbs # F142201. The slightly smaller option is the Fulton Single Speed Winch - 8" Long Handle - 1,300 lbs # F142104. If you need a larger capacity, you can use the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch - Cable Only - 2,500 lbs # F143201.

• Which is Better Fulton Winch F143201 or Dutton Lainson # DL14958
  The Fulton part # F143201 is the better choice over the Dutton Lainson part # DL14958 that you also mentioned. Mainly because the Fulton does not require a minimum load like the DL does of 300 lbs to function.

• Is There a Force Rating for Rotating the Handle on the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch
  When there isn't a load on the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch # F143201 the handle is very easy to move. Naturally as you put more of a load on the winch it will be more difficult to turn but winch manufacturers don't rate the handles like this so unfortunately I don't have an exact answer for you. If you check out the linked review video you can see how easy the handle is to move just after the 1:00 minute mark.

• Replacement Winch for Fulton T1401 With Worn Ratcheting Pawl
  We don't have a ratchet replacement kit for your T1401 model we only have smaller capacity or two speed options that aren't a confirmed fit for that winch.

• What Determines a Hand Winch Minimum Operating Weight and Can it Be Modified/Lowered
  I reached out to my contact at Dutton-Lainson and confirmed there is not a way to reduce the minimum operating weight required. Both the # DL15761 and the # DL14964 use the same brake pad and washer. However, # DL15761 (2,500 lbs) is physically bigger/heavier than # DL14964 (1,500 lbs) and uses two drive shafts instead of just one like the smaller winch. That is a big part of why it has the heavier weight requirement and heavier weight capacity. An even better solution for you than either...

• Recommended Boat Lift Winch to Replace 2500 lb Shelby Winch
  The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL14958 you asked the question from is a great option for your boat lift. This is a very nice option that will keep the handle from free-wheeling and possibly hurting someone. The automatic brake stops the load when hand cranking stops. Another great option is the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch - Cable Only - 2,500 lbs # F143201. This also has an automatic brake and a zinc finish rated for 600 hours...

• How To Install Winch Cable On Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch F143201
  I would be happy to help you get the winch cable installed on your Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch # F143201, but unfortunately there is no online install instructions for this. To get the steel cable installed you will need to pass the cable from the inside of the drum through one of the dimpled holes in the outer plate. Next loop the cable around the drum bearing, under itself, and leave 1" of cable extending past the built in clamp location. Tighten down the clamp to keep the cable...

• Best Replacement for Shelby Model 5353 Winch
  The Shelby Model 5353 Winch is a brake winch rated at 2,500 lbs. I recommend using the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch part # F143201 for replacement which is also a brake winch rated at 2,500 lbs. The handle length will be the same for the two models as well so they are very similar. The only difference really is that the Fulton winch does not require a minimum load for activation or payout.

• Winch For Long Distance Recovery
  Your best bet is to get a recovery rope that can connect to your pump and then have that rope connect to the winch. We do not have a winch that can carry that much cable in it's spool, but have a bunch of winches that can carry that kind of weight like a Standard Series Winch # BDW10041. I definitely recommend getting an electric winch just because I wouldn't want to be the guy stuck with cranking the manual winch # F143201 by hand!

• Availability Of Fulton Winch Where Handle Can Be Moved From Right To Left Hand Side
  I have a replacement winch option for you, but there is not a way to move the handle on the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch - Cable Only - 2,500 lbs # F143201 you were looking at from the right to the left side. Instead you will need to get a winch that is capable of this. I recommend the Fulton F2 Fully Enclosed Trailer Winch with Adjustable Handle - 2,000 lbs # FW20000301 which has a handle which can be mounted on either the left or right side, has the highest ratings of a left hand...

• 2500 Lb Capacity Brake Winch
  The Fulton # F143201 High Performance Brake Winch is compatible with cable only, not a strap. We do not offer a compatible 2500 lb brake winch that's comparable with a 3 inch strap, but the US made Dutton-Lainson # DL15721 works with a 2 inch strap like part # DL24251.

• Replacement Winch for Discontinued Fulton Winch # FKW30000103
  That winch has actually been discontinued so we do not carry it anymore. We do carry the Fulton # F143100 rated for 1,500 lbs and the Fulton # F143201 rated for 2,500 lbs. Both of these are hand brake winches. We do have a Fulton winch option that is compatible with 3,000 lbs and that is the Fulton XLT 2-Speed # F142425. This winch is a 2-speed winch that has a 10 inch long handle and is rated for 3,200 lbs. If you would like a winch that has the braking feature and is rated for 3,500...

• Can a Strap be Used with the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch # F143201
  I do have a solution for you to use a winch with a strap but unfortunately we don't have a 2D drawing of the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch # F143201 and this winch is not compatible with a strap, only cable like part # DL24102. For a similar winch that does allow you to use a strap we have the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15721. This is also rated for 2,500 lbs and can be used with the Hand Winch Strap # DL24251. If there are specific dimensions you are looking for (like the mounting...

• Can the Fulton K1550 be Replaced with the Fulton F143201?
  If you are wanting to make sure the # F143201 will mount the same way as your K1550, I did have the mounting pattern measured and it will fit much the same way. I included a picture with the measurements as well.

• Winch Needed to Tilt Load from Vertical to Horizontal
  It sounds like you are either needing to use a system like the Fulton 2.5K Winch # F143201 with a pulley like the part # BDW20027, or you need a vertical winch like the 4K Dutton-Lainson Ceiling Winch # DL11140. Since winches are rated more for weight than for application it is a little difficult to gauge exactly what you need but if either of the options mentioned above don't work just give me a little more detail about what you are trying to do with maybe some weight and I can assist...

• Recommended Trailer Winch Compatible With 2 Inch by 20 Foot Winch Strap with Hook
  The Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch - Cable Only - 2,500 lbs # F143201 is the replacement for the K2550 you mentioned, so I can't recommend either width strap with this winch. If you want to use a strap with a winch of similar size, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch with TUFFPLATE Finish, Self-Locking - 2,500 lbs. # DL15721 along with the Fulton Heavy-Duty Winch Strap with Hook - 20' x 2" - 10,000 lbs # FWS20HD0200.
