We have a 1983 Bayliner Capri bowrider with a Shorelander trailer. The winch lock on the power winch gave out last weekend and I think it's too old to consider repair. I think the boat is approx 2000 lb, my question is, do the manual winches hold the boat in place while trailering like the power winch used to, and whats the best option without braking the bank for brand/type/media.

Re: Trailer Winch

yes the manual winches will hold it. Look on iboats here in the store, they have some nice 2 speed manual winches for around 60-80 bucks. Thats the route Im going to take at the end of this season, if not sooner. It would crank alot faster than an electric winch I would imagine.
