Overview

Cranking by hand pulls a boat onto its trailer with this stainless steel cable winch, which has a two-way adjustable ratchet and a corrosion-resistant build.

Stainless construction and a corrosion-resistant finish suit wet launch ramps, and a long cable gives reach to the boat. It is manual and rated for modest loads, and no strap, mounting pattern or gear ratio is listed.

Who it's for

Trailer owners with small boats and light loads get a compact hand winch with a ratchet that works in both directions. Owners of heavy boats or vehicles need a higher-rated or powered winch.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Two-way adjustable ratchet
  • Light and compact
Cons
  • Modest capacity rating

Performance notes

Gears in the housing turn crank effort into pulling force, and the ratchet holds the cable between strokes. A two-way adjustment lets the user reel in or let out line. Stainless steel resists rust at the ramp, but the rated load governs what it can pull.
