Overview
Not a hand-crank winch, the RC 23 loads a boat onto its trailer at the press of a remote button. It has a zinc-plated frame, a level wind to prevent snarls, an aircraft-quality cable and a UV-resistant ABS housing.
Powered loading with a remote makes retrieval easy for a single boater, and a pulley block lets the pull rise while slowing retrieval. A built-in light and an emergency crank add backup for a dead battery or a dark ramp.
Who it's for
Trailer boaters who want powered retrieval for boats up to the stated weight. Owners of heavier boats need a higher-rated winch.
Pros and cons
- Wireless remote operation
- Level wind system
- Light and emergency crank
- Pulley block raises pull
- Cable length not listed
- Remote not itemized in the contents
- Short one year warranty
Performance notes
A heat-treated gear system does the pulling, and the pulley block doubles the line to raise pull while halving retrieval speed. The level wind lays cable evenly on the drum so it does not snarl.
