Manual Trailer Winches Single speed & Two Speed

Manual Trailer Winches — Reliable Boat Loading

Manual winches are the workhorse of boat trailers. Choose single-speed for lighter boats or two-speed (with high and low gear ratios) for larger vessels that need more pulling power on steep ramps.

Key Specs to Consider

• Pull capacity: Should be at least half your boat's total weight (boat + motor + fuel)
• Gear ratio: Higher ratios = easier cranking but slower winding
• Cable type: Wire cable (stronger) or webbing strap (easier to handle) or Dyneema (lightest, strongest)
