I would be happy to help you determine which winch will replace your Shelby 5476 2800lb strap winch, but unfortunately since Shelby went out of business we do not have any way to determine its mounting hole pattern so you will need to measure the winch first.

For example the Fulton 2-Speed Trailer Winch - 10" Long Handle - 20' Strap - Zinc - 3,200 lbs # F142424 has the 3200lb capacity and a strap like you were wanting. This winch has mounting hole measurements shown in the included diagram for you to compare to your 5476.

If you find your Shelby 5476 has a different mounting hole pattern just send me a picture and a few measurements and I would be happy to recommend the correct replacement winch for you.

I included a video of the # F142424 for you to take a look at.

Hi Jay, great question and I know it’s frustrating when a good winch like your Shelby 5476 is no longer available, especially when you just want something that fits right and works the same without a bunch of guesswork. The good news is we do have a…

Thanks for the picture! While we do not have an exact replacement for a Profile 2000 winch we do recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch item #DL14627 as a replacement. This winch has an 1,800 lbs capacity and will work great with the 20' x…

Answer 3

You have a Shelby winch. Shelby is no longer in business so that exact winch is no longer available. But there are many other winches you could use even if the capacity is not exactly the same. A 3,200 pound winch such as #F412425 is a great option.…

Answer 4

Shelby is no longer in business and would not be the same as Fulton; there are no ratchet repair kits available for Shelby so you'll need to replace your winch. Keeping in mind that a boat trailer winch has a boat-size-to-winch capacity that is…

Answer 5

Hi Jame, When attaching a strap to the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch #F142412 you can orient it either over or under the drum roller, whichever you prefer. If you need a strap for the #F142412 use the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook…

If the gear is broken on your existing Shelby winch, I recommend simply replacing the entire unit, as Shelby is no longer in business and replacement parts are not readily available. To replace your Shelby 5408 model, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson…

Hey Sid, We do not have a direct replacement handle for your Shelby Winch 5408B. The closest handle that we have is the Fulton #F501109 which is going to be the same 9" long handle. The oval mounting hole is 1/2" with the flat portion being…

Answer 8

The max rating of your Shelby 5408B is 1,900 lbs which would be more than adequate for a 2,200 lb boat as typically the ratio for winch capacity to boat weight is 2 to 1. For a similarly rated winch we have the part #DL14627 which is rated for 1,800…

Answer 9

The Shelby 5408 used a 2" strap, so you would only need one with the appropriate break strength and length. I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook #DL24251 which has a break strength of 4,800 lbs and is 20' long. If…

Answer 10

The replacement strap I recommend is the 12 foot Long Personal Water Craft Trailer Winch Strap with Safety Hook by Dutton-Lainson, part #DL24291, to use with your Shelby Winch 5408b. This strap will replace your winch strap and the hook has a tensile…

Answer 11

The Jif Marine 2-Speed Trailer Winch part #315-W3200D would be an excellent option to replace the Shelby 5408B Winch (1,900 lbs). It has a 3,200 lb capacity which will be suited for boats up to two times this so there should be no issues with the…

Answer 12

We do have a winch to replace your Shelby 5407 winch, but unfortunately we do not have a replacement handle that fits your Shelby winch. To replace your 1,700 lb Shelby 5407B winch I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Single Speed Winch #DL14627 which is…
