Overview

The Attwood Marine 11147-7 is a 2 inch x 20 foot trailer winch strap with a sewn loop end, sized for winches rated up to 2,000 lb. It uses polyester webbing and comes fitted with a forged zinc-plated steel snap hook with a spring-loaded closure.

This is a replacement strap for boat trailers that use a loop-end connection at the winch drum. The sewn loop mounts through the drum on compatible winches, and the hook has an extra-long throat that makes it easier to reach the bow eye during loading and retrieval. The webbing also stands up better to sun exposure on trailers that spend time outside between trips.

Key features

• 2 inch x 20 foot strap size for trailer winches in the 2,000 lb class
• Sewn loop end for attachment to compatible winch drums
• Polyester webbing with good resistance to UV exposure
• Forged zinc-plated steel snap hook with a spring-loaded closure
• Extra-long hook throat helps with connection to the boat bow eye
• Loop-end layout helps keep the strap tracking cleanly on the winch drum

Compatibility and fit

Check that your trailer winch accepts 2 inch webbing and uses a loop-end drum attachment before ordering. This strap is a good match for lighter trailer winch setups rated up to 2,000 lb, where the hook connects to a standard bow eye for launching and retrieval.

It suits owners replacing a worn strap on small to mid-size trailer boats where clean winch drum attachment and straightforward bow-eye hookup matter more than added length or a chain section.

Installation and use

When replacing an old strap, inspect the drum bolt or pin, the drum side plates, and the bow eye before fitting the new one. Make sure the strap lays flat on the drum with no twists so it winds evenly under load.

For saltwater trailer use, rinse the hook after retrieval and check the webbing for abrasion, cut edges, or flattened spots as part of routine trailer maintenance. That quick inspection usually catches wear before it turns into a loading problem at the ramp.
