I'm at the age (and added to that, the generous amount of busted body parts I"ve aquired) to where I need to get an electric powered winch for da Tank's trailer.
Anybody have recomendations for make, model, where to buy, experience with(good & bad) and/or tips on DIY mounting?
Capacity wise, Da Tank is a 1959, Lone Star, 20ft. Alum hull w/ cuddy cabin & 70 hp Evenrude (2 cycle) mtr & 5 hp (4 cycle)kicker. Trailer is a galv. sailboat trlr. & the winch, which came with it, is a DL 2500 (2500 lb. cap.)hand operated. I don't think the Tank weighs anywhere near that much. But it works if I crank the crap out of it & I'm getting to old for that crap.
I use a Power Winch T2400 for a boat weight of 3500 lbs. on a roller trailer for 10 yrs. Browse the web for the best price.
