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.

Hey John, how did the new Dutton-Lainson 2-speed winch work out for cranking up your pontoon? Did it make the job any easier compared to your old winch? Your update could make it easier for others looking for the same upgrade.
