can anyone tell me if you can upgrade your cable wire winch to a belt type by changing the drum only.

Why not change it over to rope, eg.

we are talking about ya basic manual boat trailer winch arent we???
If so give the strap a big swerve.
I've had wire, strap and synthetic rope.......Oh mate the good synthetic rope every time no question.
But ya can fit strap to an existing drum...... ya just have to stich it on by hand..easy done.
cheers

I chewed two straps in two years. I now use the rope and much prefer it.
