Hello my fellow Ausfishers
I need some help in making a winch to winch my boat.
I bought a electric one and it isn't the best
I want to use pullys etc you see them on bigger boat trailers.
Does anyone(Northside ) know who can make one for me

Mate, i brought an ATV 3000Lb winch on ebay for $100 and it pulls my 5.5 meter boat up with ease. The bonus is it's remote control ( wireless).

The boats comes up quicker then you do do it by hand.

with a 4.75 you shouldn't even need 15:1.
get a 3 speed and you have the best of all worlds, they aren't that expensive
and you can then get it tight quick and winch up slowly if you like
