Question:

Hi Etrailer, can you recommend an electric boat winch for a 23 foot aluminum center console , 4,200 lb boat on a roller trailer? Thanks!

Since your boat trailer has rollers on it you can use the Dutton-Lainson TW4000 StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25200 which is rated for a 4,000-lb boat when no rollers are present.

This boat winch has a high-impact weather-resistant case which makes it perfect for marine applications. Another great feature is the freewheel-out clutch which allows you to pull the strap out by hand.

I have attached a review video for you to check out as well.
