Electric Boat Trailer Winch Accessories

Normally, when you buy a brand new electric trailer winch, it usually include all the necessary parts and materials including the mounting bar, bolts and nuts, wiring harness to connect it to the battery. But some models in order to cut cost they only include the electric winch itself but you have the option to buy these accessories separately. Some of it are made just for a specific brand and model and are not interchangeable, so make sure to check if it’s compatible with your existing unit. Other accessories that you can buy include the manual hand crank so you can still operate the winch just in case the built-in electric motor breaks. You can also buy a remote control unit like wired footswitch, wired remote hand switch and the wireless remote control console. The wired remote switches are removable so you can just install them if needed. The wireless remote control console allows you to operate the winch in a safe distance up to 150 feet away from the trailer. If you need to replace a faulty wiring, you can have the trailer wiring kit complete with two pieces of cable wire with socket and quick connect terminal assembly, plus a plastic cable tie to hold it in place without drilling additional holes to the chassis.

A good way to mount any electric winch is to purchase and use a readymade mounting kit. It includes a prefabricated mounting bracket that’s already painted and looks original so you don’t have to customize one. The necessary mounting bolts are also included, the only thing you need to do is probably drill additional holes to adapt to your existing winch. You can use the mounting holes guide that is included when you purchase a brand new electric winch.

When it comes to wiring accessory you can take advantage of the quick connect terminals that can be crimped to a 6 gauges to 10 gauge wire. It has a built-in plug that you can use to protect it from dust and dirt that can clog it when disconnected or when not in use. If you buy a quick connect power cable kit these terminals are also included together with the cable and other terminals plus cable tie.
