Video of Fulton F2 Fully Enclosed Trailer Winch with Adjustable Handle - 2,000 lbs
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to review part number FW20000301. This is the Fulton F2 Fully-Enclosed Trailer Winch with a 2,000 pound weight capacity. This corrosion-resistant cast aluminum frame on this fully-enclosed winch makes it perfect for marine use. The completely enclosed design is durable and stylish. Cast aluminum frame provides corrosion resistance. Does have an aluminum soft grip handle which offers ultimate adjustability.
You can switch from whatever side you want. If you want to put it on the left side you can do that or you can put it on the right side. The handle length can also be adjusted. As you can see there's 4 different holes at 1 inch increments. If you put it on the first hole at the very bottom that will give you a handle length of 9 inches.
If you move it to the next one it'll be 8 inches. And then it keeps going down. If you go to that one it would be 7 and the very end one would be 6 inches. So it would range from 9, 8, 7, 6 inch adjustment on the handle. It has a quick and easy installation.
You can have it fit the industry-standard mounting pattern. It uses the Fulton Easy Install System. Basically what that is, it comes with the mounting hardware. There's 3 bolts and the nuts. What you would do is just drop it into the hole and you can slide it across to fit the pattern just like that.
And then use the nut to tighten it down. And it is adjustable. Very handle, easy-to-install system. This is the bolt attaches your handle to there. Now it also comes with the strap, which is a 2 inch wide 20 foot long strap. Now this winch can only be used with a strap and there's a strap anchor. Basically how you would install this, if you look on here on the hub, right above the hub there's a retaining bolt. What you'll need to do is take the end of the strap that has the loop in it and you would run that strap between the bolt and the hub and bring it through. And after it's through there you put the strap anchor on there. And what that does is as you wind it up this anchor will go and wedge between the hub and that retaining bolt there and it will help keep it attached to the drum. Now on front it has a pull-and-turn knob which helps you easily engage and disengage the ratchet pull. There are no exposed springs. If you move it to the middle that is neutral, it says neutral right here. That will let it go either way. It has a dual-gear drum and a solid drive gear which will allow smooth, reliable operation. The handle can be turned in reverse to slowly let out cable instead of freespooling. And on the inside there's a rear strap guide which helps to prevent the strap from contacting the gears. The strap is included. Now the gear ratio on this is 5.1:1. And basically what that will mean is to get the drum on the inside here to turn one revolution you would need to crank this handle 5.1 revolutions. The hub diameter on this drum on the inside is 7/8 of an inch. And, again, the drum storage will hold this included 20 foot by 2 inch wide strap. The capacity on this is 2,000 pounds. Does come with a limited lifetime warranty. And I'll show you the very bottom again, the mounting. And then the operation, basically, just to give you an idea. When you attach this you put this screw in there. For this right now I'm just going to give you a demonstration. I have it fully turned that way, it will crank counter-clockwise. If we pull it up, it's spring-loaded, and move it to the other way it would crank clockwise. And if we pull it up and move it into the middle it'll go either way, pretty much freespools. Very nice, handy system. And that should do it for review on part number FW20000301.

The corrosion-resistant, cast aluminum frame on this fully enclosed winch makes it perfect for marine use. Other unique features include adjustable handle length and configuration, an easy-to-use pawl knob and a dual-gear drum.Upgraded my winch on my boat trailer, went with a heavier one than the one that came with trailer. Absolutely one of the best winches I’ve used. I ordered the winch late on a Saturday night and received it four days later on Wednesday, fantastic service, I’ll be glad to use etrailer again . 604841
Easy to assemble and install, seems very solid. Looking forward to many seasons of reliable use, definitively an upgrade over the standard winch it replaced. 218490
This winch is simply outstanding- well designed, geared perfectly. Well worth the extra money. Use it on a 21' Four Winns deckboat. 47139
Got the strap and hook today that was missing from initial shipment. Great customer service got a new one here quickly. Successfully installed. Nice service, nice winch. 661658
Every order I have made has literally been as easy and simple as it possibly could be. I will not be buying trailer parts from anywhere else. That's a fact. 604906
This winch is much beefier than the xlt 1401 that I was replacing. Good price and great delivery time. 583853
Easy to install, looks good, and definitely seems to be a cut above the average trailer winch. 576672
Great product. Mounting was easy on standard surface. Great looks and functionability. 576277
Very happy with product after first year of use. Easy to operate, feels solid and works flawlessly. 554024
THIS IS A GREAT COMPANY TO BUY FROM. THE SERVICE IS GREAT AND PRICING IS GREAT. 500903
I will not install the products on my trailer for a few weeks and due to restoration of my boat it will be a few months before I use the Items. Everything looks as I expected and and hope I am satisfied with how they function. My main concern was the packing and shipping of the Items. Before opening the box, I didn’t know if any of the Items would be damaged or not. The outside of the box was mashed in at a couple of places, the jack handle was bursted through the box and the end was sticking out. After, opening the box, the winch box was mashed in. I didn’t see any damage to anything. 485823
Great winch, Installed it in just a couple minutes. Super easy with the large handle, cranks the boat up on the trailer like butter! 471867
Love it. Nice upgrade to the standard wench. I did have to drill new holes, which was a pain. 375979
This thing is pretty big , so be sure you have the room for it. That being said, it's a pretty solid product. Should work well for our sailboat trailer. 336567
Excellent Product. I've owned a Fulton Winch for my boat trailer for years, its never let me down. I decided to replace it only because I'm refurbishing my boat trailer. 334843
New winch bolted right up, and works great! Thanks guys. 257526
Fast shipping and items arrived in perfect shape and ready to use. Will do business with etrailer.com again. 227388

Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
After one season of use on this winch, I am still happy with it, and it has not had any problems. Our boat is heavy, and it helps a lot to have a low gear once the boat is most of the way out of the water. We use it in a saltwater environment, so hopefully it works well for years... we do rinse it out good after each use. 464848

awesome product piece of cake to install. it pulls my 32 foot Baja onto its trailer with ease. And E- trailer's shipping is fast almost as fast as my Baja...I said almost!! thanks everyone you will have my business again. 97692
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
This winch seems to work fine except for one MAJOR flaw: The strap won't easily pay out when you switch the mode to neutral. In HIGH gear, it requires a lot of force to pull the strap out (i.e. to get it hooked onto the boat when the boat is several feet away from the winch) as compared with other winches I have used. In LOW gear, I found it *impossible* to pull hard enough to pull the strap out. I will continue to use it, but I am pretty disappointed in this "feature". 565996
As of January 2013, Neutral option has been disengaged for safety reasons. In low speed the handle turns 16 times to 1 drum revolution.

Great to work with, order easy, shipped and delivered on time, product is as described functional and looks great too! 517354
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Now my wife can crank the boat on the trailer with this 2 speed drive. Good looking and good quality. Bolted right on the deck plate on the trailer. Removal of the black plastic cover frame is required to remove the strap before installation. Star screws are a good idea and the plastic cover only fits one way. I recommend this product. 284694
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Mounted this on my 2009 Ranger Trail and it fit perfectly using the factory holes for the old winch. I have to deal with a very shallow ramp to access the Pamlico RIver where I live and the Fulton F2 pulls my 20 ft Z520 bass boat (a very heavy boat) onto the trailer with no problem. Etrailer provided fast delivery as well. I recommend this F2 winch and etrailer.com without reservation. 184954
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
I chose it as my previous winch broke as it was not powerful enough. It was a Fulton 1800T. It was fine if I could get the boat trailer deep enough in the water when backing down the ramp. It was always hard to winch my Four Winns 22ss the last foot on the carpet rails. This winch is much more powerful and does the job. It was easy to install as it fit into the existing holes made for the previous winch. I would recommend this winch. There is no neutral so watch the winch handle when letting out the strap. 100040

The boat winch is very well made. It will probably outlast the trailer i installed it on. 523169
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
I received the winch a few days ago and havent mounted on to my lowboy as of yet. The winch itself has a sturdy ghousing and it looks like it is going to be easy to mount. E-Tralior has always shipped me great quality of items that I have ordered from thm. An Excellent company to be dealing with. I order all of my traiolor parts from e-trailor. Graet company excellent support if you have problems they will handle it for you. Thanks Larry 192385
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Great winch. However, installation was a bit difficult as my previous winch had 2 bolts front to back. After a call to e-trailer, they confirmed that I could use 2 bolts. I then needed to change the nut and bolt adding a large washer to cover the large hole and a lock washer below. Getting the bolt and washer into the housing was the difficult part but I was eventually successful. Will be using the winch at the end of the month and can verify performance then. 190305
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
e-trailer got this to me in one day! Thank you! Excellent winch. I replaced an original Fulton winch on my 8 year old MC boat trailer. It was rated at 1300 lbs. and was adequate. When the pawl for the small gear broke, leaving it useless, it was time for new. I thought this 2 speed F2 would be overkill for my application, but I'm very glad I made this choice. I didn't realize how hard I was working with that old winch. This winch makes it almost effortless. It works smoothly, has a nice clean look, and has no traditional pawl to break. Of course we'll have to see how it holds up once THIS one is 8 years old. :) Note: The rating of 3200 lbs. is a bit misleading. The side of the housing is marked saying it's rated at 3200 lbs. first layer, and 1600 lbs. with a full drum. I guess that means the more you strap wind in, the less pulling it can handle. 44981

I just finished installing the winch strap and crank handle. The winch works as advertised and appears to be a quality product. Look forward to many years of trouble free usage. 479928
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
This winch is a BEAST!!!! I could not have bought a better product for the application I was looking to use my winch for. I could not recommend a better product if your in the market for a boat winch. John W Grabowski 568659
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Product appears to be great, but unfortunately I have to return it because the mounting hole pattern does not match my boat trailer. I will be ordering another Fulton product from etrailer.com. 200475
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
This is an excellent winch especially with the two speed gearing and the fact the winch is enclosed. It was relatively easy to install - the only modification I had to make was to drill an additional mounting hole at the front (toward the front of the trailer). Once that was done it took only a few minutes to finish the installation. Great product and a very fair price. 475343
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Always had trouble with loading the last 2-3 inches of my 16' Lund with a 75 & 10 HP Mercs. Installed the F2 and easily pulled the boat about 3 inches on a dry trailer. Much better than going to all the trouble and reliability issues of an electric winch. As with all of my Etrailer purchases it seems to exceed my expectations. 198348
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Although I have not yet used the winch as of yet, just installed it yesterday, I like the look and construction of the product. The two speed option will be of use on the steeper ramps when pulling the boat up the last few feet to the bow stop when you really start to feel the weight of the boat. I had to move the mounting position of the unit due to the size of the winch body. I drilled two new holes to be able to mount it without interference. There was enough adjustment in the third hole so that I did not need to relocate. It matches nicely with the Fulton F2 tongue jack. E-trailer service and delivery were great. Great communication and shipped product quickly. I will definitely consider E trailer for my next trailer parts purchase. 47375
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Unfortunately, this unit does not fit my trailer. The mounting bolt pattern is only about 2 1/4" wide for the forward bolts, but my trailer requires about 2 3/4" wide. Unfortunately, the spec for the winch did not specify the bolt pattern, so I mistakenly assumed the hole patterns are pretty standard. I will need to return this unit. 409033
The industry standard mounting pattern is basically a triangle-shaped bolt pattern. The two bolts at the bottom are 2-1/4 inches apart on center. The top bolt is 4-1/2 inches from either bottom bolt on center.

Winch is for trailer for 5000 lb. boat and motor. Although spec'd to fit standard winch mounts, I had to drill 2 new holes in my mount, well know trailer maker. Winch appears to be built do the job. Pulled the boat one time, but time will tell. I asked for appropriate winch cover and ordered UF # 38-944020, which agrees with what I received. However dimensions are not as shown on the order. Ordered 12" x 14.5" and received 10.5" x 13.75". Does not fit nicely and not worth hassle of returning. Winch looks nice sitting on the trailer. 567983
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
This is a great trailer winch. Well built and solid. You can tell as soon as you get it that is a quality winch. I mounted it on a trailer for a 24' Xcursion pontoon boat with a 150hp Evinrude ETEC. So it's probably weighing in at about 3500# to 3900# loaded and full fuel and oil. This thing seems like it could pull it right out of the slip and on to the trailer. I would and have recommended this winch to anyone that is looking for one. It completely blows the cheap stock ones out of the water! You won't go wrong buying this one! 285928
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
If you have a large boat and need a winch that you can rely on...this is it. Installation required me to drill a few new holes for my custom trailer but that was not a problem. After a full season of using this winch, I can say it is well worth its money. I've got a 4500lb boat that always slipped back after trailering...with this winch, it doesn't happen. This winch is very solid and could quite possibly be used to pull the titanic off the bottom of the ocean. 467599

It Is Everything You Said And More . I Have A Twenty Foot Ranger Bass Boat It Made It So Easy To Put On The Trail On Lake Has Outboards Thank You 89901
Winch works as good today as the day I got it last am very happy with it think you
Mike C - 07/16/2014Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Very happy with the winch and how it operates. The only challange I had was having to re drill the holes to mount it because of the way my old winch was mounted. The rounded area on the front of the new winch was hitting the trailer winch post so I had to take a small amount of the metal off and shift it back. Great product. 445857
Review from a similar Fulton F2 Winch in Trailer Winch
Impressed with the quality of the housing. It did not fit the standard bolt holes - had to drill new bolt holes. The unit is narrower than my old unit. Disappointed with the bolts. Standard grade 5 bolts. were not galvanized...including bolt/ collar for handle. I replaced mounting bolts with galvanized bolts and the handle bolt with a stainless bolt. This is a requirement for the warm salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Strap hook looked undersized as well, and it is not load stamped with a rating....looks cheap. etrailer was excellent and fast shipping, I would definitely buy from them again. 141430
