I'm not sure what a Fulton winch is. I'm pretty inexperienced in all of
this.

I've got an aluminum Shore-Mate boat hoist that I bought used to store my
17' fishing boat. The gears are now slipping and the thing is not working
at
all. Has anyone replaced the manual winch on a small boat hoist? I saw a
2000lb rated manual winch for $30 on the web. It doesn't have a big wheel
to
wind it but it looks like it might work. Is there anything special about
boat hoist winches?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean trailer winches?

Nothing special, but I'd stick with Fulton and pay the extra bucks.
