I am thinking of mounting an electric winch on my boat trailer. My wish list for a winch is:
- at least 20 feet of strap or synthetic cable, (no wire cable)
- wireless remote control
- Free spool and manual override ability
- Enough power to winch the full length of the 18 feet jon boat (loaded weight up to 1500 lb) up onto the bunk trailer in no more than a couple minutes (I don't like to submerge the trailer lights).
The Fulton XLT 7.0 winch is available by order from some local dealers and seems to fit my criteria, but I would be buying it sight unseen. I am hoping someone here is using this winch on their boat trailer and can provide input on its' reliability and winching speed.
Are there any other winches I should consider instead of the Fulton?
Thanks.
