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…
Michelle, great question - the Base Line 240 #ME86FR and 400 #ME26FR handle dry or slightly damp rock salt and calcium blends well, but they’re not ideal for heavy, wet sand or thick mixes. That’s where the Blaster units #ME98FR and #ME48FR shine:…
Hey Ed! Yes, the Meyer Base Liner salt spreader #ME86FR includes a coarse brush auger to prevent material from flowing prematurely into the throat, which helps reduce clogging. The Blaster models #ME98FR and #ME48FR take that further: they use a…
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…
Good question, Steve. On dry salt and a steady pace, the Meyer walk behind spreader #ME43FR will spread roughly 8–12 feet wide. You can dial the rate down with the control lever to narrow it for sidewalks or open it up for bigger driveways. The…
Dennis, the maintenance steps are identical - rinse, dry, grease bearings, and keep 20–25 PSI in the tires. The only difference is that stainless version #ME63FR will resist corrosion better so you may not need to touch it up with paint in the…
The covers of the Fulton XLT part #F142425 are removable with a Torx head wrench. If you are looking for basically the nicest hand winch around this would be the winner. Our customers who have this winch all really like it so I know you will like it…
I would easily recommend the Fulton F2 Fully Enclosed Trailer Winch with Adjustable Handle - 2,000 lbs #FW20000301 or the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Heavy Duty 20' Strap - Zinc - 2,600 lbs #F142418 as a replacement for your…
Hey Darryn, the etrailer winch part #e75VV that you referenced has a capacity of 1,500 lb which isn't quite high enough unless you have roller bunks. For wood bunks with a normal winching distance the ratio of winch capacity to boat weight is 2…
The max rating of your Shelby 5408B is 1,900 lbs which would be more than adequate for a 2,200 lb boat as typically the ratio for winch capacity to boat weight is 2 to 1. For a similarly rated winch we have the part #DL14627 which is rated for 1,800…
I attached links to this page that have all of the dimensions for the Fulton F2 Trailer Winch #FW32000101 that you referenced. When looking at it from the front the winch will have an overall width of 14.77", which includes the extension from…
The base on 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch #315-W2500D measures 5-3/4 inches wide by 7-1/8 inches long. This is a very standard size and bolt pattern so it should fit on your trailer easily. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as…
