Fulton two speed trailer winches are designed to make light work of heavy loads. Featuring one fast speed for quick pull-in, and a second low speed for increased mechanical advantage, these winches also include a shift lock design which allows changing gears without moving the crank handle from shaft to shaft. Simply lift the shift lock and slide the shaft into the desired position to hold the shaft in gear.
Fulton has produced marine and utility trailer hardware for more than a century, and its jacks, winches and couplers are a standard for light and medium-duty trailering. The XLT and F2 series cover swivel and fixed jacks, hand and powered winches from 1,500 to 3,200 pounds, and couplers built to keep working in wet, salty conditions.
With more than a hundred years of production behind it, Fulton has become the reference point for light and medium-duty trailer hardware, particularly on the marine side. That environment is the toughest test a trailer component faces. A boat trailer is reversed into fresh or salt water on every launch and left to sit wet, which finds every weakness in plating, sealing and material choice. Fulton's stated position is that the brand performs best when the weather is at its worst, and its product engineering reflects that. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Bulldog, Tekonsha and Wesbar.
Marine and utility jacks anchor the line. The XLT Series marine jack uses a bolt-through swivel mount built from three-dimensionally formed heavy-gauge steel stampings with a proprietary bushing material, a combination chosen to minimise deflection under tongue load while keeping the swivel action working after years of exposure. The F2 Series takes corrosion resistance further as the industry's only extruded aluminium marine jack with an anodised finish, which removes the rust problem at its source rather than coating over it. The wider trailer jack range covers topwind, sidewind and drop-leg configurations.
Trailer winches pull boats onto bunks and rollers. XLT Series winches use efficient gear ratios, full-length drum bearings, oil-impregnated shaft bushings and a Comfort Grip handle that makes the last few turns under load bearable, in 1,500 and 1,800 pound capacities. F2 Series winches use an enclosed frame for a cleaner look and added protection, in 1,600, 2,000 and 3,200 pound models, including two-speed options that trade line speed for cranking effort.
Couplers complete the range, including A-frame couplers matched to common tongue sizes and load ratings, serving boat owners, utility trailer users and trailer manufacturers.

This hand brake assembly is designed to control and hold loads on marine winches rated at 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, 3,200 lb, or 3,700 lb capacity. The brake is applied by pushing down on the brake lever (handle) to tighten the brake spring around the brake drum or shaft, allowing you to hold a load and then disengage the crank handle or shift into neutral depending on your winch model.
The hand brake is available for winches rated at 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, 3,200 lb, or 3,700 lb. The brake itself is designed to hold the rated capacity of the winch it is installed on. Always refer to the stamped markings or decals on your specific winch to confirm its rated capacity. If uncertain, contact Cequent Performance Products at 1-800-632-3290 or www.cequentgroup.com.
No. This hand brake is designed for 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, 3,200 lb, and 3,700 lb marine winches. The 3,700 lb winch has a different installation procedure that includes installing a brake drum onto the pinion shaft before assembling the brake spring and handle. Confirm your winch capacity before purchasing.
No. Only winches that have a hub diameter of 1 3/4" or larger can accommodate steel cable. If your winch has a smaller hub diameter, you must use rope or strap instead. Check your winch specifications to confirm hub diameter before selecting cable type.
For 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, and 3,200 lb winches, no specific tools are listed. For 3,700 lb winches, you will need a hammer and punch to drive the roll pin into the pinion shaft. A wrench or socket to torque the 5/16 locknut to 11 ft-lbs is also required for all models.
The 5/16 locknut that secures the brake spring to the pivot bolt must be torqued to 11 ft-lbs. This applies to all winch sizes (2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, 3,200 lb, and 3,700 lb).
No. The brake drum (Item 1) is only installed on 3,700 lb winches. For 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, and 3,200 lb winches, the brake spring slides directly onto the pinion shaft without a separate brake drum. The 3,700 lb installation requires you to first slide the brake drum onto the pinion shaft and secure it with a roll pin before proceeding with the brake spring installation.
For 3,700 lb winches, slide the brake drum onto the pinion shaft and align the hole in the brake drum with the hole in the shaft. Hold the alignment and drive the roll pin into the shaft using a hammer and punch. The top of the roll pin must be lower than the surface of the brake drum to ensure proper clearance.
The assembly order is: (1) Insert pivot bolt through frame and spacer; (2) Slide brake spring onto pinion shaft; (3) Slide brake spring loop onto pivot bolt and secure with 5/16 locknut torqued to 11 ft-lbs; (4) Slide thin wave washer onto pinion shaft; (5) Slide brake handle onto pinion shaft with handle tab inserted into the other end loop of brake spring; (6) Compress wave washer with brake handle and press retaining ring into groove to secure brake handle. For 3,700 lb winches, install the brake drum first before starting this sequence.
After assembly, test the installation before applying any load: (1) Crank the winch in either direction and verify that the brake spring and pinion shaft rotate freely with no resistance from the brake spring; (2) Apply downward pressure to the brake handle and verify that the brake spring tightens around the brake drum (3,700 lb only) or shaft. If the brake spring does not tighten when you apply pressure to the handle, do not use the winch and correct the installation.
Winches require a maximum of 45 lbs of handle force to pull their rated load. If you need to apply excessive force to turn the winch handle, this indicates the winch may be overloaded. If you cannot crank the winch with one hand, you are potentially overloading the winch and should stop immediately.
A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be heard when lifting the load. This indicates the ratchet pawl is properly engaged. If you do not hear a loud clicking sound, do not use the winch and replace the ratchet components immediately. This clicking is a critical safety indicator that the load is being properly supported.
No. This winch is designed for manual operation only and must never be used to move humans. The load rating is based on an intermittent duty cycle for lifting cargo only, not for lifting people.
You must always maintain a minimum of three (3) complete wraps of cable or rope on the drum, or three layers of strap on the drum. Never fully unwind the cable, rope, or strap from the drum.
You must assure there is an adequate safety factor of at least 3 times the maximum load for all components used in the system. This means if your winch is rated for 2,000 lbs, all cables, straps, attachment points, and other components must be rated for at least 6,000 lbs.
No. Winches are not designed to secure boats to trailers while towing. Boat tie-downs should be used for this purpose. Using a winch to secure a boat during towing creates an unsafe condition.
Never release the crank handle unless the ratchet pawl is fully engaged and the load is supported. Additionally, do not attempt to stop a winch by grabbing the handle while it is in motion, as this can cause injury. Never operate the winch with slippery, wet, or oily hands; always maintain a firm grip on the handle.
Operator and bystanders should never position any part of their body under any portion of the winch or the load being supported. Never stand alongside the winch cable, strap, or rope, and never guide the cable, strap, or rope with your hands. If the cable or attachment breaks, the cable will whip violently, causing property damage, serious bodily injury, and/or death.
No. Do not allow children to play on or around the winch or the load being supported. This is a serious safety hazard.
Never leave a weight supported from the winch while the winch is unattended. Another person may attempt to operate the winch, thereby creating an unsafe condition. Always lower the load or ensure the winch is secured before leaving it.
To apply the brake, push down on the brake lever (brake handle) hard enough to hold the load. Then either disengage the crank handle or shift into neutral, depending on your winch model. The brake spring will tighten around the brake drum or shaft to secure the load.
For maximum braking performance, the routing differs by winch size: For 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, and 3,200 lb winches, the strap, rope, or cable must come off the top of the drum. For 3,700 lb winches, the strap, rope, or cable must come off the bottom of the drum.
The brake components must be checked periodically and replaced as needed. Additionally, always inspect the cable or strap and its attachment before each use to make sure they are not damaged. Never use cable or strap if they are worn, kinked, or frayed.
The brake spring (Item 6) must be free of any grease and oil. If the brake spring becomes contaminated with grease or oil, it will not function properly and must be cleaned or replaced. Check the brake spring periodically as part of routine maintenance.
Periodically check mounting hardware for proper torque and tighten if necessary. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but this should be part of regular maintenance before each use or at least monthly for frequently used winches.
Always replace bent, broken, or worn parts before using the winch. This includes the brake spring, retaining ring, wave washers, and any other components that show signs of damage or wear. Do not attempt to repair damaged parts; replace them with new ones.
Use only Cequent Performance Products' parts or parts of equal quality for repair. Replacement parts are available through Cequent Performance Products' Customer Service Department at 1-800-632-3290. Please specify your product model number when ordering.
If you do not hear a loud clicking sound from the ratchet when lifting the load, this indicates the ratchet pawl is not properly engaged. Do not use the winch. Stop immediately and replace the ratchet components. This clicking sound is essential for safe operation and indicates the load is being properly supported.
If the brake spring does not tighten around the brake drum or shaft when you apply downward pressure to the brake handle, the installation is incorrect. Do not use the winch. Review the installation steps to ensure the brake spring loop is properly positioned on the pivot bolt, the handle tab is correctly inserted into the brake spring loop, and the retaining ring is fully seated in the groove on the pinion shaft.
If the brake spring and pinion shaft do not rotate freely when you crank the winch in either direction, or if there is resistance from the brake spring, the installation is incorrect. Do not use the winch. Review the assembly to ensure all components are properly aligned and that the brake spring is not over-tightened. The brake spring should only engage when you apply downward pressure to the brake handle.
Excessive force in turning the winch handle may indicate overload. Winches require a maximum of 45 lbs of handle force to pull their rated load. If you need to apply more force than this, or if you cannot crank the winch with one hand, you are potentially overloading the winch. Stop immediately and reduce the load.
Never use cable, strap, or rope if they are worn, kinked, or frayed. Always inspect the cable or strap and its attachment before each use to make sure they are not damaged. If the cable or attachment breaks, the cable will whip violently, causing property damage, serious bodily injury, and/or death. Replace damaged cable immediately before using the winch.
This brake fits 2,000 lb, 2,600 lb, 3,200 lb, and 3,700 lb marine winches. The 3,700 lb model requires a different installation procedure. Confirm your winch capacity before purchasing.
