I really don't understand why guys have trouble with electric winches. As I said in another recent post, I love my Powerwinch RC30. It does have a remote, so you could run it and guide your boat. There's no need for a battery on the trailer. I bought a matching weatherproof connector to the one on the winch and mounted it in the bed. Power comes from the truck's battery. I have a 4' cable that connects the two. If for some reason the electrics fail, there is a hand crank and it will function just like a normal winch.

By the time you rig all that crap up my boat is on the trailer, washed, waxed and covered.

Main reason i thought to rig a battery to the trailer, is that in the event I used someone elses tow rig, I can still operate the winch easily. |
I had a winch on one of my old trailers, was the one encased in yellow plastic, (forgot brand) , but worked awsome on my 8,000 pound cruiser,,,, back in ,center boat, hook up, and hit the remote, sure beat wearing myself out crankin the stupid winch

I have a Power winch on for the Black Thunder, it really helps the girl to operate the winch. Dont have to worry about her getting her fingers in the gears or cable, all she has to do is hook the cable and hit the switch.
