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 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…
Hey Jason, welcome back! The 15" x 6" Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel item #AM20537 will work if you have 2" or more clearance between the side wall of your current tire and your trailer's frame. This wheel is only going to be…
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…
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…
The Dutton-Lainson two speed winch, part #DL15440 would be an excellent choice for a heavier boat like your pontoon. Dutton-Lainson winches offer a good balance between performance and cost. A two speed jack is ideal for getting a heavier boat up…
Hey Brian! Yep, for your boat trailer, I’d skip the etrailer A-frame drill jack #e38AV since your trailer doesn't have that standard 3-bolt A-frame jack mount. That could be fabricated to fit, but that's a lot of unnecessary work. For a…

Loading a boat or lifting shop gear gets a lot easier with the right trailer winch. Match the pull rating to your load, then pick what suits your style: hand cranking, 2-speed for leverage, smooth worm gear control, or electric power for heavier pulls. Verify whether it's set up for steel cable or a nylon strap, and consider options like an integrated brake for extra control.
Yes. Orient the mount bolts so they don't contact the winch belt; installing them the wrong way can rub the belt. Dry-fit the winch to your stand to confirm clearance before final tightening. If you're replacing an older unit, confirm the mounting pattern and arm length so it fits and lines up with your bow stop.
Sometimes. Some winches are cable-only, while others accept a cable or a strap. Check that the drum and fastener are designed for a strap. Also verify the winch includes the hardware you need for a strap—one unit did NOT come with the necessary hardware to use a strap instead of galvanized wire. If you're switching from cable, confirm width and attachment style match your strap.
Yes, worm gear winches work smoothly and quietly for controlled lifting and lowering. They've been used to lift and hang bikes and to raise or lower a press bed, with no fumbling with latches. You can use a speedhandle or a cordless drill on a compatible hex drive. Check your mounting height and load path, and confirm the drive style matches your handle or drill.
Use proper connectors, install a breaker near the battery, and run new wire rated for the amp draw. That setup has handled a 7,500 lb boat without struggle. Protect the winch from contact points at the bow; a simple cover helped where an anchor came close. Verify your battery condition and cable routing to reduce voltage drop and interference.
Yes. High and low gear helps save your arms and back when cranking under load. Look for clear on/off engagement so you're not guessing. Installation has been straightforward, taking about 30 minutes for some. As a quick check, keep an eye on the handle retention clip—it can work well, but verify it's seated and holding before use.
