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…
Thanks for reaching out Brennan, Since we no longer carry Fulton winches, the closest replacement we offer is the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2 Speed - Direct Drive - 2,500 lbs #DL14825. It's comparable to the capacity and…
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…
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 David, welcome back! This is a great question but your winch mounting plate being smaller than the bottom plate of your Dutton Lainson winch part #DL15440 will not be an issue at all. As long as the mounting holes are all lined up and attached…

Hey George, best solution for you will be to go with an all new jack like the etrailer part #e95YV because Fulton is no longer in business so there isn't a way to get a replacement F2 and none of the other jacks out there use the same bolt…
I spoke to the manufacturer Jif Marine, they informed me that the 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap part #315-W2500D would not be sufficient for a 3,500 - 4,000 lb boat even with bunk boards. The bunk boards are certainly going to help…
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…
Hey Dale, this is a great question but while the ComeUp UW-5000si Trailer Winch #CU645010 and the part #CU644501 are pretty similar they have notable differences. First being that the 5000 has more weight capacity at 5,000 lb vs. 4,500 lb, it…

Nothing beats the feel of a solid manual pull when loading your boat or gear. A trailer winch in the standard hand winch style keeps things simple and dependable, with straightforward installation noted by folks swapping from older units. Match your setup with cable or nylon strap compatibility, verify the mounting pattern on your post, and consider options like a handbrake or alternate gearing for added control.
Installation is generally straightforward and often lines up with a standardized mounting pattern. Install the mount bolts so they don't contact the belt or strap. Make sure the handle's retention clip seats fully. If you plan to power it with a drill, confirm the winch has a hex-drive setup. Avoid split-reel tricks for two cables; use separate winches instead.
Pick a capacity that matches your load and trailer setup, then give yourself a margin so cranking is easier. A 2-speed with low gear helps with heavier pulls, reducing strain when you're bringing the boat to the roller. When replacing an old unit, stepping up in capacity can make operation smoother without adding hassle.
It depends on the winch design. Some are cable-only, while others accept a cable or a strap. Check the product details for what it's rated to use and whether it includes a strap. If you want more control holding the load as you crank, look for a model that includes a handbrake feature.
A 2-speed gives you a hi gear to take up slack and a low gear for heavy pulls, which saves your arms and back. Low gear makes it easier to pull the boat up to the roller with control. Expect to move the crank handle between Low and High as designed, and verify the ratchet selector clicks securely so you're not fiddling with it.
