Winch Zinc Plated 3200lb Capacity Dutton-Lainson 2 Speed

23' boat that weighs around 6K total when loaded down with fuel, ice, water, gear etc. Works perfectly ... as it should. Two speed selection is easily selected by moving the handle and is great for steep ramps or when my wife is running the winch. 8K rated 20' strap fills up the spool. If you use a strap (not wire rope) you'll need a through bolt for the strap, I used my old one off the original winch.

I installed this winch to replace the old single speed unit that had become unreliable. Being a two speed it is possible for my wife and son to now also help with the winching duties as the low speed setting requires little effort and the high speed is geat for gobbling up the strap until you have sufficient resistance.

Very nice winch. Effortless compared to old winch. Not the cheap Wal-mart winch.
