I've always had electric winches on my trailers. Been through plenty of bad ones, couple of good ones. I just bought a 2021 Tahoe T16 with a Trailstar-Tracker BT-TAH16S trailer. I've been through a tons of wasted research looking for an elec winch that will fit on this trailer. Although overkill, I wanted to get a Dutton-Lainson TW4000 yet footprint much to large.The winch stand doesn't give much room. I wondered if replacing it with something like the alternate winch stand in the pic might work? I know I may have to go the 'take it to a welder or trailer shop' route, yet surprising this is so hard to find. Anyone out there able to give me any recommendations? The dealer I bought from is overwhelmed and overloaded (independent dealer, yet knew nothing about how to resolve this.) Hope to get some ideas! Thx.

I was under the impression winch foot prints where more or less standardized?

Replaced a few winches in my days. Never had an issue bolting one up that I remember.

If nothing else, make an adapter plate. Bolt one plate to the other if need be
