The Shelby Trailer Winch 5409B is a single speed brake hand winch with a 2,100 lb capacity. It was discontinued some time ago. In order to replace this winch I recommend using the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch part # DL15721. The Dutton-Lainson winch has an automatic brake for safety, zinc coating for protection, and 2,500 lb capacity. If you also need a new wire rope to go with this winch I recommend the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook part # DL24102.

I have attached a review video of the winch and wire rope for you as well to check out.

Are you needing the handle for the above-mentioned Dutton-Lainson # DL15721? If so, it can be found with part # DL6454. If you're needing a handle for the older Shelby model winch that's mentioned, this is unfortunately no longer available.

The 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap and Brake #315-W3200D does not come with mounting hardware. This is the case with all of our winches.

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…

Hey Eric! Fulton is for sale right now so their parts aren't around, and we don't know when they'll be back. A great alternative for the Fulton F2 is the Jif Marine 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch #315-W3200D. It has the same 3,200 lb…

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…

Answer 11

There is no difference between the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch DLB2500A and the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch part #DL15721. The DLB2500A simply represents the model number whereas the DL15721 represents the actual part number. They are the exact same…
