Powerwinch Select 1,600 lb Winch with 8-Inch Crank

The Powerwinch Select 1,600 lb Winch with 8 in Crank combines the upper end of the single-speed Select range with the longer crank option. Its powder-coated steel frame and die-cast aluminum covers arrive fully assembled for installation. Powerwinch specifies the winch for freshwater use.

Where the shorter version prioritizes clearance, this model prioritizes leverage. The 8 in crank gives the operator a longer radius to work against the load, which can reduce effort when the boat is moving onto the trailer bunks. Precision gearing stays in one speed for uncomplicated operation, and the crank is held to the pinion shaft by a dual-bolt coupling.

Powerwinch supplies a four-panel polyester strap with forged snap hook, plus a zerk fitting for maintenance of the pawl and ratchet area. The adjustable mounting arrangement helps align the winch with the bow eye. Use total loaded boat weight when choosing the appropriate model, and compare other trailer winches if your installation needs a compact crank or two-speed gearing.

• Long-handle version favors leverage during the loaded pull.
• Single-speed design keeps operation straightforward.
• Dual-bolt connection helps maintain crank security.
• Adjustable mounting aids bow-eye alignment.
