Powerwinch trailer winches load and unload your boat by hand or electric power. Size the winch to your boat weight and pick the strap, rope, or cable.
The most important number is your boat weight. Powerwinch rates each winch for a maximum load, so choose a winch with capacity above your fully rigged and fueled boat weight, not the bare hull. Electric winches make loading easy on a ramp and suit heavier boats, while manual strap winches keep it simple for lighter craft. The 712A, 912, and similar models cover a range of weights.
Decide on the line type, since winches come set up for strap, rope, or cable. Add the matching circuit breaker to protect the wiring on electric models, and confirm the strap or cable length reaches your bow eye when the boat is back on the trailer.
Use your boat weight fully rigged and fueled, then choose a winch rated above that figure. A manual 2000 lb winch suits light boats, while electric models handle heavier loads.
Straps are easy on the hands and common today, rope is lightweight, and cable is durable. Powerwinch offers models set up for each, so pick by preference and check the included length.
Yes, on electric winches. A matched circuit breaker, such as a 40A unit, protects the wiring from overload during heavy pulls. Install it inline with the winch power.
