Well my trailer winch has snapped and waiting for shops to open to get a new one. Anyone have a toolkit / socket set n wanna lend a hand ? I have family near here but dunno if they are home or even have tools so thought id ask here incase...

Also - are the mounting positions for trailer winch universal ?

In other news landed three jacks and a stack of bream last nite hahaha

What has broken? If its just the cable you can just tie a knot in it.

Do you use a ratchet tie down strap if so you should be able to use it to pull boat up on trailer.

Other option is to submerge trailer and float boat onto it. Even if you can get it past the half way mark that will do as you can then pull it out of water and then park car facing downwards and then push the boat right on trailer.

If you can rally a few blokes they will be able to use the anchor rope to pull it up onto trailer dont be afraid to sink the trailer.

Is it the shear pin that secures the gear to the shaft that has broken. If so you should be able to either partially knock it through and the winch will be useable again or else knock it right through and use a nail of bit of fencing wire.

The photo shows the end of the pin in the small gear.

If you have to get new winch just one bolt will secure it enough to be useable.

Cheers
