Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Loading your boat into your trailer used to be a monumental hassle. You'd have to attach your manual winch and then summon all your physical strength to pull and crank your boat into place as it fought gravity. With the Powerwinch RC 30 wireless remote winch, however, loading your boat is as easy as pressing a button on the remote and relaxing in a lawn chair. The RC 30 is outfitted with such construction features as a corrosion-resistant, zinc-plated frame, an aircraft-quality cable, a level wind system to prevent cable snarls, and a UV-resistant ABS plastic housing. As a result, the smooth-running, heat-treated gear system inside the winch holds up against long-life wear and tear. The sturdy construction details help the winch pull a boat as heavy as 11,500 pounds. The RC 30 also offers a vertical lift capacity of 4,000 pounds, with an option for doubling the pull/line capacity with the use of a pulley block (included) at the bow eye. This doubles your cable and halves the retrieval speed, giving you more strength (7,500 pounds) out of your trailer winch.

The RC 30 is powered via wireless remote, with remote power-in, freewheel-out operation. In addition, the RC 30 includes a couple of bonus features to help you out in a pinch, including a light enclosed in the trailer winch and an emergency crank conveniently stored in the winch cover. The Powerwinch RC 30 is backed by a one-year warranty.

This unit will meet your needs. I have a 28 foot Grady White and even when fully loaded the winch has more than enough power to move my boat the last 2 feet onto my bunk trailer.

I purchased the RC30 as a friend has one on his car trailer and has had decent luck with heavier cars than mine, although he has had nothing but trouble with the remote control. I have a smaller trailer so the remote was not an issue for me. However, this past weekend I had to use the winch for the first time to pull a friends car up, and after less than 5 minutes the winch failed and will not restart.

This is unacceptable performance for any winch, and certainly one that costs as much as this one. I had a much lower capacity sub $100 winch from Harbor Freight previously that was slow but NEVER failed, and I thought I was upgrading.

Forewarned is forearmed.

I would not purchase this product again.
