The one above fits in receivers in the front deck, both catwalks and the rear spud receiver. Has power plugs in the front and rear. When not in use it's store away in a receiver inside the front hatch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You don't have to go high price with winches. Look at viper. I would go 3500lbs. Also switch the cable out with 1/4" synthetic line and thank me later. |

Nah I just know those cheap winches are heavy. Got a 2500 and I know it weighs more than that. Sound great on that one Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk |

I don't think my 3500 weighs much more than 25 lbs or so. It's a promark with synthetic cable. |

I use the super terra 3500 w/sythetic rope on a Gator-tail receiver mount. I have winched my boat across dry ground with no problems. It weighs 20lbs. It is really over-kill for a boat my size. |

I've snapped the synthetic rope. I had to put a steel cable on afterwards & since have never had an issue. |
