Expert Reply:
Hey Vern, thanks for reaching out. The Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch, AC Powered # DL24872 is a good option for that. It can't be mounted vertically, but you can use a Winch Cable Pulley Block # DL94QR to change the direction of pull from horizontal to vertical.
With your 2,000 lb capacity requirement, the # DL24872 has plenty of capacity for the job, and using the pulley block keeps the installation in line with the way the winch was designed to operate.
What kind of boat will you be lifting?
