Question:
For 20 ft center console 2400lbs plus a full tank and 200 hp outboard. What size winch should I use?

Expert Reply:
Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with long winching distances and wooden bunks like what you currently have the ratio is 1 to 1.
The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14725 should work well for you. It has a 2,000 lb capacity and would make easy work of your 2,400 lb console boat.
