Powerwinch 915 Trailer Winch

The Powerwinch 915 Trailer Winch is a 12-volt electric power-in/power-out system designed for controlled boat launching and retrieval. This dual-line winch delivers a vertical lift capacity of 3,200 lbs with a maximum double-line capacity of 7,500 lbs, making it suitable for boats up to 29 feet in length and 9,500 lbs in weight. The power-out function allows operators to control descent speed as the boat enters the water, a critical feature for safe launching operations where manual control would otherwise be impractical or unsafe.

The unit ships complete with a 10-foot remote control cord and integrated switch, eliminating the need for additional wiring harnesses beyond the standard 60-amp harness provided. A mechanical pulley block rated for double-line applications distributes load evenly and extends effective pulling capacity to 7,500 lbs—doubling the single-line rating. An emergency hand crank provides backup deployment capability in the event of electrical failure, ensuring the winch can be operated even when 12V power is unavailable. This redundancy is essential for trailer applications where power loss at a ramp or launch site could otherwise trap a boat or prevent safe recovery.

This winch is purpose-built for boat trailer operators, marine recovery crews, and off-water transportation specialists who require repeatable, controlled load management. The 915 model fits trailer applications where capacity needs exceed basic manual winches but total weight (38.9 lbs) and footprint (11 x 9 x 15 inches) must remain practical for standard trailer mounting. Operators managing mid-size recreational or commercial vessels benefit from the combination of electric convenience, mechanical override, and proportional speed control that this system provides.
