Electric boat winch

[snakecatcher]

I have been thinking about getting an electric winch for my trailer as I find it a pain to get my boat on the trailer on windy days when I am by myself. Super Cheap Auto sell electric boat winches for around $100 - Does anyone have one of these?

Thanks

Mike

I have one of them, the bigger one that they sell and have used it to lift my bore, build a waterfall as well as use it for the boat and its still going.

Thanks Shonky1 - out of interest can you plug these into the cigarette lighter socket of the car or do you have to connect them directly to the battery?

I have mine wired into my trailer plug with a heavy (15 amp 240 volt) dedicated cable coming directly from the car battery but I have also used it from the cig lighter, the only diff is it doesnt have as much grunt.
