Jet Ski Lift Winch Recommendation

Question

Question:

I have a vertical jet ski lift that I just purchased but the winch on it is only rated for 1000# first line and 500# full spool. Can you suggest a larger winch that would work for my lift?

For your Jet Ski Lift, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 1,500 lbs # DL14927 or the 2,500 lbs # DL14958. These winches are designed for use on boat lifts and have the covered gears for safety. They both include the automatic brake so there is not a pawl to switch or exposed gears to catch towels or life vest straps in.

The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch #DL14964 is going to be the standard brake type winch to replace your B1500. This has the same 1,500lb capacity. I do not recommend changing to a chain drive as those can frequently have issues with the chain and gears.

Hey Renald, so the brand of winch you have is a Shelby which they aren't in business anymore unfortunately. Now with that said do you know the length of the wire rope you are wanting and the diameter? With that I can see what you'd need.
