Location: minocqua, wi. | my upgrade to the FW-2000 was a HUGE improvement, in-fact ... i wouldn't so much call it an improvement but i now actually have a winch.
the 3 bolt pattern is a MUST for a big glass boat and drivers on both sides of the barrel also a MUST ... ridiculous how underpowered they come from the factory and that's factories like Ranger. ticks me off actually because it's a safety feature and they are only $100 - 130.00 so why put a 2-bolt single driver piece of crap that only torques and doesn't winch your boat onto the trailer? makes no sense to me.
hindsight i may even have gone to the 2-speed 3200 pounder but not sure it would fit on my post.
i tried mine the other night just for fun and left about 2' ... winched the boat to the tongue without even having to grunt or wonder ...
maybe the smartest and best upgrade i've ever done to my boat ... |
