Electric trailer winch

Postby mgajim » Sat May 21, 2016 4:44 pm

Gentleman,
Does anyone have any suggestions on 12 volt trailer winches for a 17' Currituck trailer? It has a 70 hp Johnson that adds another 238 lbs. The ramp I use is around a 25% grade angle. Harbor freight winches? Cranking this thing on is getting old. Thanks!

I researched and searched and bought this winch for my 21 Outrage.
All reviews I found were good, unlike many of the power winch reviews.

Note, I have yet to use it on my steep ramp, but looking forward to it.

I have a steep ramp and a bow pulpit to add to the drama
Thanks,
