I need to get a new winch for my trailer... my current one is about shot as the handle is getting pretty loose and wobbley... I have a Tige 20i will a 1800# winch be enough?
Are the bolt patterns pretty universal for the winches or do I need to watch out for particular ones to fit my current setup?
I would like to get a dual drive 1600# from iboats with the strap installed but I don't know if that will be enough winch for my boat.... someone HELP!!!
I think your good with an 1800 lb winch. You always have your safety chain But really, it's not like your hanging a 3500 boat by the winch. It's just holding the bow.
I don't think I have ever used the winch on my trailer to actually winch my boat. Drive in on, clip onto the eye, and get out of the way for the next guy.
I got a 40$ winch from harbor freight. Most the standard winches come from the same factory in china anyways. The fulton is obviously different. But it has worked flawlessly for 3 years now.
