    2018 Z521C wench strap

    I have a Ranger Z521C and need to replace the winch strap. I went to Bass Pro Shops today and they gave me a 16 foot strap made by Rod Saver rated 5000 lbs. and working load of 1665 lbs. I know that it would work but is it the correct length and rated capacity? I believe my boat weighs 5400 lbs dry.

    That will work fine. Your boat is nowhere close to 5400 lbs dry

    Long enough ?? That depends on how far back on the trailer you are when you load. I never used any more than a foot or so, and now that I have a Boat 2 Trailer Bow Stop, (I power load) I use even less !!

    Excellent !!! It used to want to load a little to the left, but now it's centered up like it should. Well worth the money !
