This was the perfect replacement for my old boat trailer winch that failed after 26 years of service.  This winch appears to at least equal to and perhaps a little beefier than the one it has replaced, and installation was a breeze, fit perfectly in place of the original trailer winch. The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is the lack of new bolts to bolt the winch to the trailer. Maybe there's a reason -- perhaps the bolts vary too much in length from one trailer to the next to include new "universal" bolts. But to me, the absence of bolts that are an absolute necessity to install the item is hard to understand. I was able to use the bolts from my old winch and they'll probably be just fine for the life of this new winch, but.... just make sure if you order this item, you can either re-use your old bolts or purchase new ones separately.
