Thanks. The strap on my boat trailer hasn't broken but is old enough to be replaced. Now I know how to replace it. Thanks.

Ya im pretty sure you should spool it turning the crank clockwise and putting the strap over the bushing not under it.. the way you have it the the strap will scrape on the frame and you crank it in which could be why it broke in the first place.... try spooling it clockwise and over the bushing which will also help pull the bow eye up to me the stop roller.

you shouldve rolled the strap over not under to less friction from the winch post rubbing under your strap

I noticed that too. My current strap winds off the top of the reel. For me, I think that's better

@@rayss3323 Agreed!

Loving the way you've mounted your spare... because my trailer has an old tire wedged under the boat to stop it rocking up and down so much and I was just about to order a spare wheel holder! Instead I can do what you've done and do both jobs at once...

Awesome video. If you ever have to replace it again. Get one with a soft loop attached to the hook. I use the metal hook on the boat then hook the soft hook to a rated carabiner on the trailer. So if the main strap failed in transport, the loop will keep it from moving. I only get the straps with a soft loop attached to the hook. You can also make one using seatbelt type webbing and sewing it to the hook. It’s a good failsafe. And I think they intentionally sewed the look like that that attached to the winch so the forces pull opposite. It will make it harder for the seam to pull loose since it’s pulling from an opposite direction and would hopefully bind on itself.

Thanks. I figured it would be as easy as this but very helpful to have you lay this out for me. Great video!

Thanks. I bought an old jon boat and the strap was junk---also had to install a new winch. This was very helpful as I have never had a boat that need a winch.

Thanks 🙏 for video

Helped me a lot, thank you. Simply explained with no fuss

Good demo. Just had the winch strap break on my way home and the safety chain kept things under control. If I didn’t have the chain I may have lost my boat. I have a cheap winch on a cheap trailer so I am upgrading the winch and strap. So I consider myself lucky and didn’t wreck the boat orkill somebody behind me.

Thank you for this video brother.

lol it's a simple fix but I see people messing it up. I thought.....video idea!

Don’t you love when new things are made a little messed up… LOL I don’t know if they still make it, but my dad and I had a jug of this UV protectant, we used it on the strap And we also used it around on other things to stop UV damage. Maybe that’s an idea for one of your next videos. Nice work

hmmm never heard of it. Sound like a plan.

My strap has lasted 25 years but noticed a frayed spot last week while retreiving the boat. I just ordered the replacement and was wondering how its secured. Thanx!!

Very helpful

Many thanks for the video !!!

thats a great demonstration . TFS sir..

Thanks helped me out

I believe the strap should go over the rolling pin and not rub against the post frame causing premature failure. The rest looks pretty good.

Thanks

Good job buddy

Most winches I’ve seen you wind clockwise and retrieve over the top

Good video. I need the backup strap and the strap I'm replacing has both the main AND the backup on one strap. (!!!???) Searching for safe and permanent way to permanently attach backup strap to trailer

It's pretty self explanatory as you take the old one out. I'm converting my rope model to strap. There's already 1 hole so I jus need to drill one on the opposite side and run a 20 cent bolt thru it.

this was interesting

Can you replace it with a steel cable instead? Thanks!

Looks Backwards. Should be over the top not under. You're winding in reverse. It's probably why your old one broke where it did.

I don't think itvwas made wrong. You just boughtvthe wrong type strap withvthat end. Look at sites that sell lifting slings and you can see the various strap ends them you can biy the corect one for your needs instead of blaming it was not made correctly.

I wish they made a strap that was somewhat UV resistant. Seems like I’m always replacing that strap

Wow, they did sew that all kinds of wrong 🤣 I used to make those, fun to sew 😁 You'd be surprised to know how many people have "left the boat in the water" because of not hooking that strap up 🤣, not to mention the knucklehead who unhooked the trailer, instead of the straps 🤦‍♀️. Unfortunately, I'VE WITNESSED such 🤣 They hook the bow, and not strap the stern, boat bounces out going down the road, lol.

It is not made wrong. He just chose the wrong type end.

the strap should go over the roller the wear is coming from it rubbing on the trailer bracket just saying

This was done wrong. One, your strap is rubbing and will wear out fast. Two, your winch rolls the wrong way and the 2-way latch is working incorrectly because of this. Once that latch spring weakens or gives out, gravity won't be your safety net.

you edited out the part where the strap tightens

Don't let manufacturers get away with sloppy sub-standard stuff like this. This winch strap is unnacceptable. Return it!
