Type of review

Actually a pretty good boat trailer winch for a Chinese product. I really like the dual drive as it is the weak link in most trailer winches. I don't think you can buy a better winch for the money and the two day prime shipping makes it even better. Camco 50000 winch (2000 lbs with 20' belt)

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Some little things

Not for boats! for external accessories

Using this on my boat trailer to replace my old rusty one. Raise the boat three times. The first time the aluminum bowed in and the fourth time a tooth broke. Had to secure it with an orange ratchet strap on the way home. If you use very cheap materials for your boat, buy a steel boat. Too late to get my money back from Amazon. Throw that one in the trash and buy a new one.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Why bad reviews?

I don't know why this product got such bad reviews. Camco is well known in the van world. I found this winch much better than the one I had taken off. Due to corrosion in the sea I had to cut the screws to loosen the old one. It would have been great if the new winch came with stainless steel mounting bolts but these were not included and I had to fit them myself. Otherwise the winch makes a quality impression, I like the dual gearing and the strap is better than the old one, whatever you mayโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Hard to say

Corrosion resistance is low

I bought this item to use as a boat winch because it is listed as having a corrosion resistant zinc plated body. However, after about 8 months I noticed that rust was spreading all over the winch. The product was bought for $41 a year ago and is now selling for less than $20. If I had paid โ‚ฌ19.35 for the product I would not have been so disappointed. I'm looking for warranty information but can't find anything on the Revain details page. Not recommended as a boat trailer.

Pros
  • Build quality
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Ease of Use in Winches

Just installed two of these winches on our 2 man jet ski trailer and replaced the old ones which were shabby. These Camco branded blocks are a perfect match for the original brackets. However, in our case, the included grips were slightly longer than our original grips, and as the watercraft approached the nose stop, the Camco grips interfered with the impact on the watercraft's front bumper. So I just removed the camco knobs and replaced them with my original shorter ones and everything worksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Little Things
