To choose the correct winch post, consider the width of your trailer’s drawbar (the main beam that supports the trailer). Here’s a breakdown:

 

• Large Winch Post (3″ x 2″) – Fits 75-100mm Wide Draw Bar: This is ideal for heavy-duty trailers and larger boats. If you have a wide, reinforced drawbar (75-100mm), the large winch post will offer superior stability. It’s perfect for boats that require extra support due to size or weight.

 

• Medium Winch Post (3″ x 2″) – Fits 50mm Wide Draw Bar: Designed for trailers with a standard 50mm wide drawbar, this post is a versatile choice for mid-sized boats. It strikes a good balance between strength and adaptability, making it a popular choice for many recreational boaters.

 

• Small Winch Post (2″ x 2″) – Fits 50mm Wide Draw Bar: Best for lighter, smaller boats, this winch post is suitable for trailers with a 50mm drawbar. Its compact size makes it ideal for easy handling and loading, while still providing the necessary support.

The drawbar size determines how well the winch post will fit and perform. A post that’s too large for your trailer could be unstable, while one that’s too small might not provide enough support. Ensuring a proper fit will help avoid issues during boat loading and transportation, such as misalignment or damage to the trailer.

Yes! Many winch posts, including those offered on the Surnrise website, allow for height adjustments. This means you can fine-tune the post to match your boat’s height, ensuring a snug fit every time. Adjustable posts are particularly useful if you haul different types of boats or change your trailer setup.
