What is the size of the hook? I just had to return a winch with a hook that was too small for my 17 foot boat.

I can't give you an exact size however I can tell you that it is the same size as the winch on my 18 foot StarCraft trailer and on my 21 foot shore Lander trailer that carries my 21 foot Bayliner IO . You must have had some odd-ball winch with an odd-ball hook.

It's should, you can double check by just measuring the bolt pattern. I think most the winches are 4.5 inches

I bought one for a 24' foot pontoon boat and it won't hold mine either. They have exaggerated their claim!!!

I have the 4 footers. Fully stretched, the distance between the open ends of the hooks is 51". But this is not the appropriate way to determine the size you need because the tie-down needs to be loose when hooking it to boat and trailer. IMO the tie-down needs to be at least 6" longer than the distance between boat and trailer.

I tried to measure mine while on the boat and I ordered one that was too short. Thank goodness that the dealer that Amazon hooked me up with, Bryan Outboard Inc, exchanged it for just the price of shipping. I highly recommend taking it out of the boat, since you will have to anyway, and measure it and order the correct length the first time.

I don't have exact specs but no more than a couple inches. Some hooks go straight out and one is about 12 inches but you can elect to not use that. A majority of hooks aim vertical.

No, any winch with a standard pattern will fit...which is most...I've mounted a Smittybilt with no issues.

I have a 15' jon boat and the 8 lb anchor worked fine for me. Of coarse if the winds exceed 30 mph then you may want to head back to shore! LOL!

not sure on the specs but 25 lb may be too much weight. I use a 15 lb. and it seems about the most you should use. For a pontoon, you may want to think electric winch

should... I used a different winch, but the mount holes a pretty universal.. For my use, I am pleased with the product.

I can't give you exact inches without going out and measuring it, but I closed it almost all the way for my Triton TS-17 Tournament bass boat. It could be made a good bit wider if you need that, but not much smaller. Works perfectly for my boat. The only gripe I have is I waited so long to put on these guides. Boy do they make driving onto the trailer so much easier, especially in cross wind or current.

Im not 100% sure, but it looks like it will handle up to 1/4" cable. I use this for my ATV and my winch only has 3/16" synthetic rope on it. Im sorry I didnt have the exact answer for you. It works awesome for my ATV!

I installed mine on a 18' fish and ski boat I would have to think you could get an extension for it. SorryI couldn't be of better help.

I have to measure it,and will get back to you.( it's on a boat) It's about 2". But I will double check.

They are on my boat now so I can't measure it. Judging by my use...I think 2 feet would be hook to hook at full extension.

Sorry this is late, missed the email. I measured horizontal/width between the center of the 2 screws, it was 17". Hope that helps and it's not too late.

If you're not good with the metric system (like me), here's the "American" translation: the hooks measure about 3/16 inch in diameter.
