Question:
I have a scissor pontoon boat trailer, looking for the best brake winch for the money. Boat and motor are 2800lbs. Not sure about the minimum load for a brake winch to work?

Expert Reply:
Because I don't know how your specific trailer is designed with the scissor lift I don't know if the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL15721 will be large enough capacity to safely lift your 2,800 lb boat and motor.
You may want to consider the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 3,500 lbs # DL24844 which is rated higher and has the enclosed gears and braking mechanism. I've attached video reviews for you to compare these two.
