I just picked up a Dutton & Lainson Electric trailer winch ( TW9000) and plan to mount it for my Shamrock 246. Wieghs 4,000 pounds dry. add 150 Gal of Diesil fuel annd the ice and fishing stuff and it must come in close to 5,000 pounds.
Added a poly box to the trailer to hold a marine battery to power the which and a wire with diode to keep it charged from the trailer 7 pin lighting plug.
Im on a dual axcel Alum Bunk trailer and am trying to make it slide on and off a bit easier. Added side bunks to kee the boat on straght when the tide is running a current. Problem is the trailer floats when unloaded.
I was thinking of tring to find about 100 soft poly rollerblade wheels to add to add tp the bunks to help it roll.
