I need to replace my winch. I have a 21' boat about 3000lbs.. The winch on
there now is rated 2000lbs.. I see 2000lbs winches on ebay for 14.99 but
then i see them @ westmarine and boatersworld for like $50-70... any
suggestions on brands? Also recommened lbs? I was thinking of getting a
2200-2300lbs winch...

Any benefit to strap or cable?

Thanks!


My boat weighs about 1400 lbs and my new trailer came with a 2500 lb
winch with nylon strap. Strap supposed to be smoother to reel in and
won't snap back as violently if it breaks....or so they say.
