    New winch stand post

    Anybody recommend a good source for a new one? I thought about trying to hit a few boat junk yards to fins one and repaint it.... Thanks!

    There is so much difference in angle from rig to rig, it would be tough to just grab one and make it work. Nitro stands almost straight up and the roller extends back on a bracket, Ranger leans back and the roller is right on top of the stand, Triton leans forward and the roller is on the same bracket as the winch.

    Best advice is call your trailer manufacturer and get the right one.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    If the trailer manufacturer can't help you out look for a local welding or machine shop. They should be able to copy the original stand.
