Hey Kevin, based on the weight of your 2007 Boston Whaler Montauk 170 that I found online the TowSmart winch part # 348776 would be a really great option that would work well and not cost a lot.

Then for a trailer jack for the pole tongue trailer you have the etrailer part # MJ-1206B would be a great option as well.

When replacing a winch, or winches, on a boat trailer, I always recommend one that ratchets. This way if you every loose grip, you will not need to start all over after the boat or jet ski slides back into the water. So with that being said, the…
