Fulton f2 winch on BassCat Caracal trailer

[BeantownBee]

Will the Fulton F2 winch fit on a 2015 BassCat Caracal trailer that has the steps and pole? Also, the one that's rated for 3200lbs..Will be that ok?? Had a F2 on my last boat and really liked it when you had to crank the boat up a few inches or so. I got yelled at a few times for power loading but seems the only way I can load the Caracal on the trailer.

TIA

I would think the way that basscat trailer are built and the winch strap goes underneath the bottom roller to the eye hook that creates more of a down pull than a direct pull that it wouldn’t help?

You can pull the boat on the trailer by running the strap between the two rollers. Once its up, you can run it below the bottom roller and strap the bow down normally.
Im not sure if the F2 will fit, especially with the trailer step over it, but if it will, the extra torque of the F2 would help.

Not sure about the fit but I am sure that you will love your F-2

The F2 was too tall to fit under the step.

F2 won’t fit. I was hoping after I stripped out my factory winch on my prior caracal. We can’t powerload in Michigan and this trailer is a real PITA to load.

Thanks all.. Ya I kind of stripped mine too. :( I guess i'll have to buy the same one that's on there. Was hoping for the F2 to fit since they have the torque to crank it on the last few inches or soo but oh well.

You can most likely find a dual ratio winch that fits. something like this: https://www.easternmarine.com/fulton...rap-t2005z0101

mods - if I can't post that link for any reason, go ahead a delete it.

- not as fancy, but if you need more leverage, it might be an answer.

This is the easiest solution to your problem.
