Hi Dave; the brake on the Jif Marine 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch # 315-W3200D locks with every click of the gear as you turn the handle. There are two "brake pads" that grab the rotor near the drum and hold it in place. The small shift lock lever seen in the pictures of the winch allows you to disengage the teeth from the handle putting it in the neutral freewheel position and then back into place when you are using the winch. It isn't a standard hand brake like what is found on the # DL14881.

I went ahead and attached a review video below which shows how it works for your reference.

Hey Dave, how did the Jif Marine 2-speed winch work out for your setup? Did the brake function the way you needed it to? Your update could make it easier for the next person comparing these winch styles.
