That way you won't have to powerload your boat and you can guide it onto your trailer. My Powerwinch is the older kind that I have to use a lanyard to turn the winch on while I'm standing at the rear of the trailer guiding, but the newer ones have a wireless remote control. Either way it's a lot easier and makes one man loading an easy job.
I only brought the boat to him to have the timing set and the issue really doesn't happen until the boat has been run for quite a while. I think it's more a fuel issue than anything.
I had a powerwinch that came with another boat and I let it go because I'm not a fan of them. I can load my boat solo the way I do it a lot faster. I just need to add a ladder to my winch stand.
