The Powerwinch Select 1,200 lb Winch with 8 in Crank Arm combines a moderate Select-series capacity with the longer manual handle. It arrives ready to mount, using a powder-coated steel frame protected by die-cast aluminum covers. Powerwinch rates the design for freshwater use.
The 8 in crank is aimed at users who have enough room around the winch post and prefer more leverage during the pull. It requires a wider sweep than the 6 in version, but the longer radius can make sustained cranking more comfortable. Precision gearing transfers that input through a single-speed drive, and a dual-bolt clamp helps prevent the handle from working loose.
A four-panel polyester strap with forged snap hook is included for the boat connection, and a zerk fitting allows routine lubrication without disassembling the ratchet mechanism. The mounting position can be adjusted to suit the trailer hardware. Review the fully loaded boat package when selecting a winch, then compare additional trailer winches if your setup calls for another rating.
