***ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Living on a river and across from a boat launch, I've seen so many people just tie a not in there winch strap and never repair it or install the winch strap incorrectly.
That's when I had the idea to make this video on how to replace a winch strap.
It's really simple and make loading a boat on to a trailer much safer, not to mention it helps keep the boat on your trailer during transportation.

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.
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...
Helped me a lot, thank you. Simply explained with no fuss
Thanks I'm glad it helped.😊
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.
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.
Thanks. I figured it would be as easy as this but very helpful to have you lay this out for me. Great video!
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.
thats a great demonstration . TFS sir..
Thanks !! Simple straight to the point..Great video
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for this video brother.
A very nice demonstration.
😊
Many thanks for the video !!!
Great how to ! It seemed easy enough to do . I wish we had boat to replace one on lol .
lol it's a simple fix but I see people messing it up. I thought.....video idea!
Nice walkthrough thank you
Your welcome! Thanks for watching 😀
Thanks 🙏 for video
Thanks helped me out
Very helpful - thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you.
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.
Thank you!
Very helpful
Thanks
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.
Thanks!
No problem!
Great to know!
Thanks guys!
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!!
Good job buddy
this was interesting
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
Most winches I’ve seen you wind clockwise and retrieve over the top
I agree
I concur
I did this all wrong. Thanks!
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.
Great how to Roland :-)...where you headed for fishing?
Nowhere man! Haha
Roland might just head out fishing in the morning. Time for a feed he says. Is there any fish in the Skootamatta 🤣🤣
@@BluegrassFHang skootamata river..makes a face smile and a REEL fisherman full...(pun intended). Roland..you get skunked on the skootamata? 😉
@@pegsclips 🤣🤣🤣 I believe it.
Can you replace it with a steel cable instead? Thanks!
I wouldn't
good job bro, done support, then u too
It is a shame when you buy something brand new and it wasn't made correctly. Nice job Roland.
No kidding, I didn't realize until I got home.
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.
👍
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.
I wish they made a strap that was somewhat UV resistant. Seems like I’m always replacing that strap
I know right.
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.
😂😂😂 So many things go wrong, and sometimes it's not their fault entirely. Sometimes it's kids driving you nuts and you get distracted. Or a spouse who is driving you insane haha Or just stupidity
It is not made wrong. He just chose the wrong type end.
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.
Agree
I don't think u have that strap right.
the strap should go over the roller
the wear is coming from it rubbing on the trailer bracket
just saying
you edited out the part where the strap tightens
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.
Don't let manufacturers get away with sloppy sub-standard stuff like this. This winch strap is unnacceptable. Return it!
Thank you.
Thanks!
You bet!
