The 3,200 lb 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap and Brake # 315-W3200D will be sufficient to pull in your 3,190 lb boat if your trailer has rollers on it as that will make your boat easier to move. If you have bunks then it will technically work but you'll be pushing the winch to the limit so you'll want to use a winch with a higher weight rating like this one:

- 3,700 lb Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake # F142430
- Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable with Hook # FWC7500100

Hey Bill, so if it was me I would go with the Dutton Lainson winch part #DL17085 over the Fulton. I really like DL winches because they are well made, very reliable, and made in the USA. Fulton winches aren't terrible but DL winches win if for…

The base on 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch #315-W2500D measures 5-3/4 inches wide by 7-1/8 inches long. This is a very standard size and bolt pattern so it should fit on your trailer easily. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as…
