Hey Damon.

If you're open to using a strap instead of a cable, we have the Jif Marine 3,200-lb Winch # 315-W3200D, which comes with a 20' strap included. Straps are actually a great choice for boat trailers since they won't rust or kink like steel cables can.

If you specifically want a cable, we have the Dutton-Lainson 3,500-lb Winch # DL14881 and the CURT 3,800-lb Winch # C45ZJ. Unfortunately, neither comes with the cable installed. That's pretty common with higher-capacity winches since manufacturers typically let you choose your own cable length and style.

What size boat are you pulling, and do you know the brand or model of your current winch? We may be able to find something that works without needing quite that high of a winch rating.

I am not using it for a boat. I need a hand winch that I can use snatch blocks with.

@DamonT I gotcha. We also carry steel winch cables with hooks already attached, including the Dutton-Lainson 1/4" x 50' Cable # DL24104 and the CURT 7/32" x 50' Cable # C25ZJ. Sorry we don't have any already installed. It's a pretty straight forward process though to install it.
