New winch

[demarko210]

First time buying a winch. It's a 2 speed. Wanted to ask if these gears are aligned good enough.

Good? no
Wonder if a washer during assembly was left out

I am sending it back. The gear on the handle slides in and bout a bit on both gears. The picture above is showing as far out as it comes. This picture is of it all the way in. My problem is my back hehe. Winching the boat on the trailer with my old 1800 winch was killing me. My boat is 2700 so it makes sense to go with a 3500lb winch.

Thanks again I will be returning this for a better quality winch.

Just bought my 3rd Powerwinch. I'm too old to crank any more.

Been thinking about one of those. I will see how much a difference this one makes first.

Fulton Winch worked out pretty well. It pulled the boat right up on the trailer. When I got down to the last 4 inches I still needed to put a little back and arms into it but it was much better than the 1800lb West Marine winch. Highly recommend.
