high speed low weight winch?

50'

I guess I'm having trouble understanding why the boat fits through the area, but the vehicle to tow it doesn't.

Could be that I've only had one cup of coffee also.

route is 50' long, 15' wide. Not enough room for the car to pass the boat. And no room beyond the start point without driving in my across the street neighbor's yard to use a snatch block. And no room to maneuver a car AND boat in the back yard to tow it back there. If I had a garden tractor I could do it.

So you can't back it in. You are wanting to drive it in

my backing skills are marginal and I have inches of clearance.

No, I like my boat, my fence, etc. Its not IF but WHEN I hit it.

Know your limits.

Next time you need to move the boat let me know. I will come over and supervise.

1 Ton Capacity Hand Winch

Amazing deals on this 1Ton Hand Winch at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

I bought one of these, removed the handle, and welded the nut. Then, I used a drill to power it. I used to use it to get heavy, bulky items into my attic.

Dude. I owe you a beer a case of beer. You saved me $300.

That one's gear ratio was too high. I went with the $5 cheaper half ton and it worked like a dream. Rigged it up real quick using some scrap rope to get the line long enough and tried it out. I was up the hill in about 90 seconds.

Now I just need to go get a replacement cable because the one on it is about 25' too short.

Thanks.


I love INGO.

Another solution would be to put a hitch on the front of your tow vehicle.
