 Trailer winch gear ratios? Never even crossed my mind... also never had to buy a boat trailer winch before.
What capacity and gear ratio should I get for a 18x44 Go devil? I know the hull weighs 500 lbs and the engine a couple hundred I'd assume.
However it would be nice to be able to have one that drags it on the trailer with the trailer hardly being in the water. So I guess I should ask what gear ratio would be overkill for that boat? Bc that's what I want.

Re: Trailer winch gear ratios? Put gator glide on the hull and you won't need a winch.

Re: Trailer winch gear ratios? Basic Fulton 4.1 to 1 1100lb winch is all you need. Could step up to the 1500lb one but really don't need it and no change in gear ratio.
