We just recently bought this portable winch to assist us in pulling the BassHunter, from those hard to reach places we launch from in the Everglades. The winch comes with a 30 ft cable, and gator clips, which I clamp to my TM battery for electricity.
We tested the winch out at my house, and the winch did its job. Its little slow for my taste, but hey.... after a full day of fishing with our South FL heat and humidity. Last thing one wants to do is lug a 150lb boat out of a steep bank, then up a levy, and finally load it back on the truck. Let's see how it works out.
Stay tuned. ;)

Looks like you are a little smarter than me. I tried to kill myself each time launching and retrieving that little boat!
