Boat lift winch help

[MWellner]

I tried searching google with the keywords "LDL boat lift winch" and came up with nothing, I know theres a company called LDL and unless Im spelling it wrong, it looks like it folded. I want a manual lift winch and where can I find one online?

The LDL on the Hewitt was a #B 1500, I guess that means 1500 pounds. Im sure a 1995 17 foot Ranger bassboat with 150hp Johnson weights more than that. I think its worn out as the result of my stepdad overloading it. Now I need to replace it.

Did you contact Hewitt for a replacement winch? I would think that along with the winch being undersized, structurally the frame could become damaged by overloading.

I would replace it with a comparable winch - it doesn't have to be the same brand...

The Ranger in question is a 18 foot 362V, now that gotta be over 1500 pounds.

I'm just not coming up with the right keywords searching for what Im looking for.

Try searching for Dutton Lainson winch. L&M carries them.
