Hey Kris, the Dutton Lainson winch part #DL15440 does not come with a strap so you will need to order one with it. The part #DL24250 will work great with this winch as it is correct width, is 25 feet in length, and has a capacity of 3,700 lb WLL and…
Unfortunately it will not Bill but congrats on the car! There's been two generation changes with big redesigns on the Corolla so the older hitch isn't going to be transferable. To add a hitch to your 2025 Toyota Corolla LE, I recommend the…
The 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch part #315-W3200D is an excellent upgraded 3,200 lb winch for a boat trailer. In regards to mounting, not all winches use the same pattern so you'd need to compare the dimensions in the photo below to what you have…
Hey David, we have an exact replacement winch for your DL600A with the part #DL14125. Then for a strap to go with it you you will also want the BoatBuckle part #IMF05848 and you'd be set. Is this for a boat trailer?
Hey Bill, so if it was me I would go with the Dutton Lainson winch part #DL17085 over the Fulton. I really like DL winches because they are well made, very reliable, and made in the USA. Fulton winches aren't terrible but DL winches win if for…

I really like the Dutton-Lainson Covered Hand Winch #DL17048 for your 2003 Ranger 205 boat because it's covered to it looks more sleek, and it has a 1,900 lb weight rating which means it can easily handle the weight of your trailer even if you…

I spoke to my contact at Fulton and he said the correct replacement spring for the ratchet of your Fulton F2 winch is the part #4769-28. I attached a picture that shows a diagram for the winch for you to check out. You will be able to see how the…
Hey Dave, for a saltwater boat trailer, powder-coated wheels wouldn't be my first choice, but they can still last quite a while if you're good about rinsing them thoroughly after each launch and sealing any chips or cracks in the finish as…
Hello Robert, Thanks for writing in! There's a good reason you've had a hard time finding that Fulton jack. Unfortunately, Fulton products are no longer being produced, so once the remaining inventory sold out, they became very difficult to…
The size winch that you will need depends on a couple of different factors. I have included part of our hand winch FAQ below regarding boat winches and have linked the FAQ article for you to view. Finding the Right Capacity Winch for your Boat…
Trailer Winch with polyester strap and ratcheting hand crank
Loading boats or pontoons feels straightforward with a trailer winch that pairs a polyester strap with a ratcheting hand crank. The strap is a clean alternative to wire cable, while the ratcheting action helps you take controlled pulls. When mounting, double-check bolt direction and clearance so no fastener contacts the strap during operation.
Choose a capacity at least 1/3 of your boat's weight. A two-speed unit helps take up slack fast and makes heavier pulls easier in low gear. The ratcheting mechanism can hold the load as you crank to help control the boat without slipping back. If you're near the limit, step up in rating to reduce effort.
Look for two speeds plus a neutral that lets you reel out strap easily. Some ratchets work in either direction so you can wind over or under the drum. If space is tight, check handle length options and make sure any cover or cowling clears your stand and the handle swing.
A Polyester Strap gives a clean, easy-to-handle pull compared to an old wire cable that can feel sketchy under load. Some winches include a 20' strap and handle; confirm what's in the box. Check that the hook size matches your bow eye or D-ring, as a smaller hook can be a tight fit.
It will typically fit most winch stands, but small modifications may be needed. Many bases use slotted mounting holes to help with alignment. Install mount bolts so they don't contact the strap. Mounting hardware is often not included, so plan to source the correct bolts and locknuts for your plate.
