Boat/trailer winch

Thanks guys, my concern/question was(see 2nd pic) where the brace is bolted to, it "sandwiches" the 2 side rails. I wasnt sure if it would affect strength/sturdiness of the 2 side rails, or the brace. Good points on the turning/tailgate.
Thanks!:thumbsup:
From what I am seeing it needs to move forward, single needs tongue weight, looks like it can indeed move forward all you like, nizze boat :thumbsup:

Steve, that’s sure a nice rig. I really like your boat.

Something to keep in mind when you move the winch post is to make sure you have enough clearance between the winch and the tailgate you can turn or go over a dip in the road without the winch hitting the truck.
