Hey John! For a 2 speed winch that will make cranking up your pontoon easier I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14825. This winch has high carbon steel gears and permanently lubricated bearings with a 2,500 lb capacity so it won't have an issue handling the pontoon. It comes with a 5-year warranty and can be used with a wire rope like the # DL24102.
