• Is There a Boat Winch With a Remote
  There is not currently a boat winch with a wireless remote we offer, though the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Trailer Winch # TW4015 you referenced comes with a handheld remote and there isn't an option for a wireless remote with this particular winch. This winch can be mounted with Quick Mount Kit for StrongArm Electric Winches # DL70309 for the hardware, and can use Dutton-Lainson Angle Mounting Plate for StrongArm Electric Winches # DL24059.

• Can Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Winch be Hooked to 12V Outlet in Vehicle
  Hey Shaun, Appreciate the purchase and I definitely understand wanting to be more efficient, but the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Trailer Winch # TW4015 should not be hooked up to the 12V outlet as the winch needs a direct connection to the battery. This is to protect the electronics and wiring on your vehicle as that outlet is not designed to pull the power a winch needs and could leads to all kinds of chaos.

• How to Power an Electric Winch on a Trailer Pulled By a 2017 Subaru Forester
  You do have a few options to get an electric winch, like the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm # TW4015, working, but the 4 Flat will not be able to do so alone. The first will be to add a battery to the trailer. This will usually be my suggestion, but as you do not have brakes on the trailer and it is for a boat trailer, it will not be the best way to go. What I suggest doing is upping your 4 Flat to a 5 Round, both on the trailer and vehicle. The Pollak 5-Pole # PK11502 for the vehicle side,...

• Best Electric Boat Trailer Winch and How to Determine Capacity
  I would be happy to help you! When it comes to choosing an electric winch or any winch for a boat trailer, there are a few general rules we can use. The boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1. With good rollers and short winching distances, the ration can increase to 3 to 1 and with wooden bunks and long winching distances, you will want to reduce the capacity to 1 to 1. Since you have plastic sides instead of carpet you will probably be in the 2 to 1 range. I recommend the Dutton-Lainson...

• Does Dutton-Lainson Electric Winch # DL25200 Power Switch have to be Held to Power Load In
  The power switch on the Dutton-Lainson winch # DL25200 is a spring-loaded switch that must be held to power in the load. It was designed this way to reduce the chance of running the motor too long when under load by accidentally leaving the switch on. It is also a safety feature should your hand come off the switch. I recommend going with the version that has a remote, # TW4015. The remote cable for this winch is 10 feet long. If you need a longer remote cable I recommend the Bulldog winch...

• Can Dutton Lainson TW4015 Electric Winch Be Powered From Vehicle's 7-way Trailer Connector
  You could use a 25' x 2" strap like part # DL24249. The maximum power draw of the Dutton-Lainson # TW4015 StrongArm winch is 40 amps, which would blow the fuse/circuit breaker on the 12-V feed to the 7-way of most vehicles, which is usually protected by a 30A breaker, and the winch could exceed that. The best practice would be to use a quick connect harness like part # DL24151 and wire the winch directly to the vehicle battery.
