12 best boat winches
Boat winches are essential mechanical devices used in boating and towing applications. They are designed to provide the necessary pulling power to hoist, anchor, or move heavy loads on a boat or trailer.Here's what you need to know about boat winches:
Types of Boat Winches:
- Manual Winches: These winches require physical effort to operate. Users turn a handle or crank to pull in or release the cable or rope.
- Electric Winches: Electric winches are powered by an electric motor, making them easier to operate with the push of a button or remote control.
- Hydraulic Winches: Hydraulic winches use hydraulic fluid and a pump to provide power. They are often used in larger vessels due to their high capacity.
Applications:
- Anchoring: Boat winches are commonly used to raise and lower anchors, allowing boats to stay in position or move as needed.
- Towing: They are essential for pulling other boats or objects, like trailers, out of the water or onto a trailer.
- Docking: Boat winches can be used for secure docking, helping boats pull into slips or onto trailers.
- Hoisting: Winches can be used for lifting heavy objects on board, such as sails or equipment.
Components:
- Drum: The drum is the cylinder onto which the cable or rope is wound.
- Cable/Rope: This is the line that connects to the load. It wraps around the drum.
- Handle or Control: In manual winches, a handle is turned to operate the winch. Electric and hydraulic winches have controls or switches.
- Motor/Power Source: Electric winches have an electric motor, while hydraulic winches use a hydraulic pump for power.
Capacity and Load Rating:
- Boat winches come in various sizes and capacities to accommodate different boat sizes and towing needs. The load rating specifies the maximum weight the winch can handle safely.
Installation and Mounting:
- Winches are typically mounted securely on a boat or trailer.
- Proper installation is crucial to ensure the winch can handle the loads and operate safely.
Maintenance:
- Regular maintenance is essential to keep boat winches in good working condition. This includes lubricating moving parts, inspecting cables or ropes for wear, and checking electrical connections (for electric winches).
Safety Precautions:
- Users should follow safety guidelines, including wearing gloves and eye protection when operating winches.
- Always use winches within their rated capacity to avoid accidents.
Regulations:
- Depending on your location and the type of boat, there may be regulations governing the use of winches, especially for commercial vessels.
In summary, boat winches are versatile tools used in various marine and towing applications. They come in different types, sizes, and capacities to suit the specific needs of boaters and trailer users. Proper installation, maintenance, and adherence to safety precautions are crucial when using boat winches to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Answer: | Do not know or care. It is good quality, works well and a fair price. |
Question: | Does the handle have ratchet action? Meaning, does the handle need to be cranked 360° or can you ratchet the handle in steps |
Answer: | It's not that sophisticated. You crank it all the way around to haul in. Of course, there is a ratcheting sort of feature on it to prevent backlash. |
Question: | How does this attach? Welding or what |
Answer: | Two bolts, or you can weld it if that is your only option. |
Question: | Is this winch black or silver finish? The picture shows black but the info about the item says silver |
Answer: | It's just like the picture. The frame and drum are dark painted while the cranking handle and drive gearing is silver metal. For the price this is a exceptionally good choice. Mine works perfectly. And it's quite powerful. |

Product description
Fulton brand single speed winches are designed to meet your toughest pulling demands. Our winches feature efficient gear ratios, and our "Comfort Grip" handle for ease of cranking. All gears are high-carbon steel for superb strength and long-term durability. Stamped carbon steel frames provide rigidity for gear alignment and longer cycle life. Industry leading, 600 zinc plating provides excellent corrosion resistance in all environments, and has a 600 hour salt spray rating per ASTM B117. Fulton has produced the finest winches in the industry for over 50 years. The result of engineering innovation, superior materials, and rugged manufacturing, Fulton Winches offer the greatest applications coverage for your unique needs. Ranging from the stylish and innovative F2 Winch to the wide variety of one-speed and two-speed winches, and our rugged brake winches, Fulton offers a style and capacity to meet virtually every need. When selecting a winch you'll generally need to: 1) Determine the environment (wet environment, saltwater) 2) Determine the capacity needed (Fulton winches range from 600 lbs. to 2100 lbs.) 3) Determine whether a single-speed or multi-speed winch is required (cranking resistance) 4) Determine whether a braking solution is needed to assist in managing the load (safety, pay-out). To determine trailer winch capacity needed for pulling total the weight of all items being pulled, i.e. boat, motor, fuel, gear then divide by 2. If boat, motor, fuel and gear total 2,800 lbs. you would need a 1,500 lb. winch (2,800 lbs. divided by 2 = 1,400 lbs.). If using a steep incline launch, divide by 1.5 instead of 2 due to the increased load on the winch from the incline. For lifting, select a brake winch based on the amount being lifted, i.e. if lifting 1,450 lbs. you would need a winch rated at 1,500 lbs.
- 1,500 lb. capacity winch designed to meet your toughest pulling demands
- Features an efficient gear ratio, full-length drum bearings, oil-impregnated shaft bushings, and an 8 inch 'Comfort Grip' handle for ease of cranking

User questions & answers
Question: | to 4 month shipping on Prime? Is this correct Amazon |
Answer: | Yes |
Question: | Will the winch mount Vertically on a post |
Answer: | Yes but the mounting plate might have to be drilled to fit the bolts on the winch itself |
Question: | Is this the 3200lb winch |
Answer: | It is a 3200lb strap when in good condition. I believe it has to be wrapped at least once around the drum (in manual, not handy right now) for the whole system to take 3200lb. If the strap gets old and breaks it takes the gears in the winch with...or it least it did on my old cheaper Fulton winch that I replaced with this one. |
Question: | Will this fit on a 3000# custom ezloader bunk trailer |
Answer: | In my opinion I would NEVER BUY this winch again. After three times of use (pulling a 3500# boat on as trailer) it broke. I took it apart and the teeth on the gears broke off!! CHEAP steel. I bought another brand. |
