Question:

Thanks for the information. Have decided can go with the Fulton XLT F500620 but would like to know if it has a weather cover for when not in use and if can get a second wireless remote when I order. Thanks for addressing my concerns.

Expert Reply:

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.

If you have a narrow winch stand the StrongArm will fit so long as you use the Mounting Adapter Plate for StrongArm Electric Winches # DL24055.

I have added links to a number of video reviews for you to check out as well.

The now-discontinued Fulton XLT Powered Winch with Rugged Strap F500620 does not have a second remote control that can be added. And while this winch does not have a cover made for it, I do have a weatherproof cover that will work, the Storage Cover # 333-0010. This is actually designed for a generator, but the Fulton XLT measures 14" long x 10" wide x 6-1/2" tall and the storage cover is 18-7/8" long x 11-3/4" wide x 15-3/8" tall so it will fit over this winch and has a drawstring to tighten it, although it is of course taller by a number of inches. The only other option that might work is the Bulldog Winch Cover # BDW20046 which is 21" long x 8" x wide x 11" tall. While it does not have as much width as the Fulton XLT winch, its added length should allow it to fit over the winch.
