Winch
I could use some help regarding winches.
I have a boat that I keep on a trailer. I can hand winch the boat onto the trailer, but I need a winch that will pull the trailer out of the water. I don't have a hitch on my car. I think that one of the Gorilla brand winches would work (inexpensive, reliable, etc.), but I have some questions. Will I be able to permanently mount it to a post without too much hassle? Does the switch have to be held the entire time of operation or can I get the trailer moving and attend to other things while it moves up the bank? Doesn't it cut off automatically? Can the winch be wired directly to a battery without some type of fusing system? The boat is a 15 ft aluminum Lund w/ a 35 HP outboard. W/ trailer the pulling weight can't be too much. Is there an advantage to getting a winch w/ more pulling power? Any suggestions that you have would be appreciated. Thanks, mrmac |
