    trailer winch

    As I have two messed up shoulders and get cortizone shots every 3 months I needed to look for ways to load boat easily. First I have a river jon rigged with
    a with 25hp restructured for bass fishing so weight is probably only 1500 to 2000 lbs/ I spray the bunks with wd40 about every 3 or 4 trips I can drive the boat up all the way on some ramps others maybe 1 to 2 foot short. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a single handle wench it is so easy to crank this old man can do it left handed without a sweat. life was immediately made simpler. winch rated for 5,000 lbs . $29.00.

    A Fulton F2 or XLT would be my suggestion. I got mine off of amazon for $79 and it pulls my little 18’ Triton with a 90 Etec on with ease. Very well made and simple installation.

    Is this a geared winch that can pull a glass boat? I know at some point I'm going to bend and grunt too much and drop a nut. Still perfecting my loading with this new boat.

    The F2 is a 2 speed winch.
    In low gear I can crank my 18.5 foot glass Nitro up to the roller without effort.
    Easy Peasy.
