Fulton FW32000101 F2 Marine Trailer Winch, Two-Speed, 3,200 lbs. Capacity, 4-Position Handle Adjusts From 6" to 9", 20' Foot Strap With Hook

I recently got my hands on the Fulton FW32000101 F2 Two-Speed Trailer Winch, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! 🙌 The 3200 lb. load capacity is no joke - makes loading my trailer a breeze. The silver and black design is sleek and modern, adding a nice touch to my setup. Highly recommend this bad boy for anyone looking to upgrade their trailer gear! 🚗💨

This is the best boat wench I've used. The product quality is great. The mounting hardware is top quality. The 2 speed operation is really good, especially the low speed gear. It cranks my 21 ft bass boat onto my trailer with ease. Definitely worth the expense.

Best marine trailer winch in the market

Solid winch for my Ranger 621 Vs. Easy loading the boat!

I had an older standard style stamped metal hand winch like you see on many trailers and I hated it. It was difficult to use, visibly grimy from grease on the gears, and had a bad habit of wind ratcheting some slack when I drove, requiring me to check it often.This winch is a big improvement over that old stock winch.First, there's no visible gears, all that is hidden, so not only is the grease grime hidden, but it is also safer - no worry about getting fingers pinched in the gears or catching clothing in the gears. I looks slick and sleek.Second, the larger handle is easier to crank, not just because low gear is better ratioed, but also because the handle is longer, giving more torque, and because the handle grip is better.Third, The options for setup to be left or right handed is easy and practical.Fourth, switching gears is dirt simple, and you don't have to worry about the boat strap slipping when you do - lock is maintained.Fifth, the last time I launched my boat, a 24' Bayliner, I didn't quite get it all the way forward. This winch snugged it in place when I ran it in low gear. I couldn't even budge the boat with my old winch.The only downside I can say is that the neutral gearing is a bit stiff to pull the included strap free, but that will likely change with a bit of use. You can also turn the knob to the opposite side and the winch will ratchet into reverse when you crank it...handy if you are on a steep ramp.Also, This has three mounting bolts in a triangular pattern rather than the two my old winch had, which required me to drill two extra 3/8" holes nearest the front of the jackstand mount. I actually like this arrangement better, since it gives far more stability to the mounting. The instructions were simple enough, but don't mention the thin retaining washers pre-installed on the bolts. Leave those in place as they help keep the bolts in place when you put the winch on the stand. You have to position all three bolts in the winch and then guide them through the holes on the jackstand mount, then attach the nuts and tighten them down. Easy peasy.

Fulton FW32000101 F2 Two-Speed Trailer Winch with Strap - 3200 lb. Load CapacityI bought this winch to replace the original 20 year old winch that I was afraid would fail on the boat ramp. It worked fine for a couple months until I had a friend with a pickup truck pull my trailer to the lake to pull the boat out. He opens his tailgate to see better. Well he didn't see that his tailgate hit the winch handle and broke it off in the parking lot. This winch has cast parts which can break. I would rather have a bent handle than one broken off.If what you want in a winch is something that will not let you down no matter what stupid things you or your friends do, buy the Overton's 2500 lb 2 speed winch instead of this one. The Overton's winch is a simple design with all the gears / mechanisms visible and accessible. So you can see if something is wearing out or needs grease. It is also all galvanized steel.Here is what I replaced this Fulton FW32000101 F2 Two-Speed Trailer Winch with:Overton's 2,500-lb. Two-Speed Brake Trailer Winch With 24' Strap

I had originally purchased a heavy duty winch ($150) at our local hardware store, and quickly returned it after discovering the sloppy welds and sharp flux inside the barrel. This started my search which led to this winch. None of the previous issues are found with this winch. The action is smooth and the quality is evident. Fitment on my trailer required two holes to be drilled. The adjustability of the handle as well as the ability to select two gears are nice additions. I see no reason this winch is any less reliable than others but I can’t speak to its reliability yet. Bottom line, I am happy with this purchase.

Good wench. Does everything they say it will do. My only complaint is the silver finish rubs off very easily leaving a dark dull look.
