Ive got a power winch on my trailer( no name on it) but I just use the hand crank on the side of it. When I got the boat trailer it was already on it and the PO said it didnt work. I removed the cover and found some broken wires and fixed them. It works fine but I've never run the wires to the back of the truck. Like Destroyer Ive got industrial connectors for the hookup, just need to take time to hook it up. When loading my V, I usually back the trailer about 2/3 into the water and use the bow rope to guide and pull it all the way on except maybe two feet. Hand crank it the rest of the way up. Friend of mine use to drive his on, came in one day and hit the keel roller bracket and tore the keel all to hell. Took me a week to fiberglass and gelcoat it to get it back right for him.
