Trailer Winch Recommendation for 11K Boat and Trailer with Carpeted Bunks
Updated 08/22/2023 | Published 08/19/2023
Question:
I have a 2019 ameratrailer with a carpeted bunks and an 11k lb boat. What winch would you recommend?
asked by: Brad R
Expert Reply:
Since you have carpeted bunks you need a winch rated for the entire weight of your boat (with roller bunks you can get away with a lower-rated winch) so I recommend the following from Bulldog Winch:
- 12K Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wireless Remote - Synthetic Rope # BDW10040
The wireless remote that comes with this winch makes it really easy to operate the winch while making sure your boat is in the best location on your trailer.
