The Powerwinch 712A is an electric trailer winch rated to 2,400 lb, drawing 60 amps, supplied with a 20 foot strap.
An electric winch changes what loading a boat looks like. Hand cranking a 2,400 lb boat up a ramp is slow and hard, and it usually needs a second person at the bow. With a switch it becomes one person controlling the pull while watching the hull track onto the bunks.
A 20 foot strap rather than cable is safer under load. A strap that fails falls limp, where a steel cable stores energy and whips. Sixty amps is a real draw, so the winch needs wiring sized for it rather than being run off a light circuit, and heat-treated gears handle the load. Explore more trailer winches.
