Trailer Winch,Reversible Electric Winch, for Boats up to 6000 lbs.12V DC,Power-in, Power-Out, and Freewheel Operations,30% Higher winching Power Than Regular 6000 lbs Winch (5000lbs Marine)

Purchased this winch for my 16 1/2 foot Lund. The first time I used this it stopped with the boat about 2 feet from the bow block. I used the hand crank to finish pulling the boat the last 2 feet. I contacted customer service and explained the problem and sent them a couple pictures. They were very understanding and mailed me another winch that I received in a couple days. This one works great, no problems and makes the boat easy to load when I'm fishing alone.

This winch arrived in the beginning of April 2019, I stalled on July 20th, 1st use on Aug. 4th then on Aug. 11th...broke on the 2nd use, no phone contact..only email option or Skype or Facebook, I don't do Facebook or skype...will use the email, but not very hopeful on any positive results, like a replacement or refund my $$$ at this point, would no recommend this item to anyone

Build quality: I replaced a similar winch called a "Bravex" that lasted only 4 years or so. But it was not terribly expensive so I gave it another try. The new unit is called a "MegaFlint" but it was basically identical, bolt holes, wiring, etc; except the new one uses coated a plastic-coated rope instead of stainless steel wire. Installation was easy and my previous wiring for power and control worked fine. But the unit worked well one time only. The next time the clutch/brake would not tighten This made it so the electric motor could not fetch it in. I had to use the handle provided (which is too short to do the job easily) then an open-end wrench to bring it up to the trailer. But it would not HOLD, so a fellow fisherman was nice enough to walk along, hold the wrench as I pulled up the hill from the ramp. VERY unsafe for him to do this. I fould some spare rope and tied my bow eye directly to the winch tower. I had to do this because the winch would just let line out if it was under a pull and could have released the boat off of my roller trailer. My safety chain would probably have stopped it, but a foot further back than it should ride -- also unsafe. I switched back to a manual winch. Don't waste your money or risk your safety.

So far, so good. Have only installed and used it once. I’ll follow up after I haul the boat in the fall. Follow-up: unfortunately this winch is not nearly hefty enough to pull my 4000lb boat onto its trailer. Even doubling the pull with an extra block it overheats and momentarily shuts down. This is probably fine for a 1500 lb boat and I will use it for some other purposes but I would not recommend it for anything over 2000 lbs.

Could use bigger size cable , lt gets a workout with my boat

i had a trailer with skids winch wouldn't pull boat up

I bought the Megaflint Trailer Winch,Reversible Electric Winch, for Boats up to 6000 lbs.12V back in May of 2019 and have had very good luck using it on my boat to load it. I had a couple minor issues with it so I contacted customer service and they were on top of the issues right away. With hardly no questions asked they took care of me. They are sending me a new one incase the issue returns so I can swap it out. Otherwise this has been a great winch for my boat. I would highly recommend it. Thank you for having excellent customer service.

Para el que lo necesita es perfecto

Although advert says that it is for boats up to 6000lbs, this is when on a horizontal surface. When pulling a boat on a trailer which is in a ramp, then the pulling capacity falls drastically, even down to 1000 - 2000lbs, depends on ramp angle.

I've yet to try this out loading my boat onto it's trailer, but have installed on my trailer as a permanent fixture. Using my existing winch platform with a slight mod to secure in place, I am confident on it's structural strength & pull capacity to get my boat out of the water with the greatest of ease. Would have liked this particular model with a wireless remote but will make due with the 10ft power cord remote. Still debating on installing it's own battery source that can be recharged through my 7 wire trailer connector when pulling the trailer. Do I recommend this 6000lbs 12V winch by MegaFlint? YES!! Most definitely!

No esta funcionando y el cable es de nylon y no de acero yo requiero un cable de acero , el aparato no funciona .

It sure would be great to see a way better controller, it's very cheaply built and i can see it will not last, as well the reallyes are a very poor quality, again I don't think that they will last, and last but not least it would be nice to see syntactic rope rather steal cable.

I INSTALLED THIS ON MY BOAT TRAILER TO RECOVER MY LOWE 165S SEA NYMPH BOAT AND IT DOES IT WITH SOME DIFFICULTY BUT MY BATTERY IS NOT HOOKED DIRECT TO MY VEHICLE AND I AM SURE IF IT WERE THE LAST FEW INCHES WOULD BE EASIER ON THE WINCH. A COUPLE DESIGN FLAWS IE NO SWITCH ON THE WINCH ITSELF BUT THAT WOULD BE JUST A NICE TO HAVE OPTION AND THE OTHER THING I SEE IS THE COVER FOR THE WINCH AND POWER NEEDS SOME WAY TO BE ATTACHED TO THE MAIN WINCH AT ALL TIMES. I AM AN OLD FK SO OFTEN FORGET WHERE I PUT THINGS LOL. AGAIN ANOTHER NICE TO HAVE ITEM. THE WINCH EASILY LOADED MY 16.5FT OAT FULL LOADED WITH ALL MY GEAR. DELIVERY WAS THE NEXT DAY SO CANT GET MUCH FASTER THAN THAT. IT SURE GOT THE ATTENTION OF ALL THE OTHER GUY AT THE BOAT LAUNCH AND THEY ARE VERY CURIOUS ON HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. (AS AM I FOR THAT MATTER).
