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…

The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake #DL14934 will work as an excellent replacement for your Shelby 5438 lift system with the 4 cables. We've had a number of people who've used this in the exact same situation as you and it's…

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…

The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch part #DL15303 is the replacement that I recommend for your Shelby Hand Winch 5405. These winches both have the same 1,400 lb capacity and overall size. In regards to mounting, most hand winches now use a standard pattern…

There is a winch I recommend replacing your Shelby 5352 with the best option being the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch with Automatic Brake #DL14927. This is a 1,500 lb capacity winch (you mentioned 2,500 lbs for capacity, though a higher capacity does not…

We can help you with a winch but not with a large wheel like in the picture you mentioned. They have several winches designed for boat lifts and those winches are compatible with the big wheel you mentioned. These include the following: Heavy Duty…

Shelby is no longer in business and would not be the same as Fulton; there are no ratchet repair kits available for Shelby so you'll need to replace your winch. Keeping in mind that a boat trailer winch has a boat-size-to-winch capacity that is…

The Shelby winch part #5351 that you mentioned is no longer available but it was a 1,000 lb winch with a 2 way ratchet. Dutton Lainson actually bought Shelby so the most similar winch would probably be the Dutton Lainson part #DL14934 which is a…

To replace your 1,700 lb Shelby 5407B winch I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Single Speed Winch #DL14627 which is rated for 1,800 lbs. This winch features permanently lubricated bearings, high carbon steel gears, and a Zinc TUFFPLATE finish for…

Great question! I believe that you're wanting to extend that handle out horizontally so that you aren't having to 1 - get on your hands and knees while operating the winch, and 2 - having to keep removing and installing the handle because it…

The Fulton T1401 model has been discontinued. 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…
