Any suggestions for trailer power winch ?

Several times a season I hear " wow, you must have done this a few times" ...........

It's the cranking back up where I could use a power winch because I don't submerge my trailer wheels......the rear axle water only to just below the hub if possible.

Sure I can still crank a boat up no problemo, but there are hot days when I'd rather push a button !!

I do almost the same thing for launching. Only difference is I hook the line to the bow eye. I might try that triangle thing you mentioned.

And yes, on hot days when you're tired from a long day on the water, pulling a string or pushing a button is SOOOOOooooooooo much easier. I'll leave the cranking to the young guys.
