Expert Guidance for Optimal Selection
When selecting the right winch capacity, consider the weight of your boat, including the motor, fuel, and gear. As a general rule:
Minimum Winch Capacity = Maximum Weight of Boat, Including Motor, Fuel, Gear ÷ 2
Example Calculation:
- Boat, Motor, Fuel, Gear Weight = 3200 lbs
- Minimum Winch Capacity = 3200 ÷ 2 = 1600 lbs
This calculation aligns perfectly with the capacity of the FW1600Z0301, making it an ideal choice for ensuring safety and efficiency in your boating activities. Note: For steep inclines or shallow water launches, consider dividing the maximum weight by 1.5 for added safety margin.
