Dutton Lainson - Trailer Winch

When retrieving a boat, the winch is the most critical component of the trailer.

We have switched all of the winches on our trailers to Dutton Lainson winches. The reason for this is that their winches can handle a much larger capacity than what its rated for. We placed a 2500lb winch on our 22' trailer which replaced a 2800lb winch. I know you must be thinking "why would you decrease the load capacity of the winch your using". Well...we didn't. Most winch manufacturers place the highest rating of their winch that they can, by measuring the capacity when the winch is almost empty which is when it has the most power but after having 5 layers of cable on top, it looses that strength.
