The current winch I have does not pull the boat well unless it is nearly completely in the water.I would like to get a winch that is stronger. I have no information on my current winch. It is too old and rusty. Is there a winch strong enough to pull the boat forward when it is sitting on the bunk trailer or is that too much stress for trailer and the front of the boat to take?
