Default What’s a high performance electric winch ?

Considering adding electric winch to my trailer ....

Seen too many crap winches at ramps that can’t do the job.

Any recommendations for long lasting powerful winch ?

I had a Powerwinch on a mako I had bout 35 years ago, it worked great. What ever you get, double block it. I have my hand winch double blocked and it makes a big difference

Increase the pulling power but 1/2 the speed

Cool

Phat nailed it. Powerwinch is the way to go *IF* you want a marine winch. However, Harbor freight sells the "Badlands" brand 12V winches that are made for offroad use and several people here used them. If I recall CaptPete was one of them and made a few posts about them. Not sure but I think that someone else also used them with good results.
All 3 of my boats trailers have Powerwinchs on them (KEEP a sharp eye on Craigslist for them... usually hundreds less than brand new).
