I looked at marine type electric winches for my 23.5 “heavy“ trophy but the price scared me so I took a chance on a out of the box 4,500 lb atv/truck winch. Battery mounted in a plastic tool box on the trailer frame in front of winch.
Note: trailer is secured under cover at all times. 4th year now without any issues. I use a snatch block (amazon) when hooking to bow in order to double the pulling strength. Replaced wire many years ago with a braided type rope from harbour chandler to lesson chance of breakage with whip back. Hope that helps…

My trailer for my 7000 lb boat had a fused Strongarm winch fixed to the trailer along with a stand alone battery. Never had an issue with it other than a little maintenance making sure the battery is charged b4 an extended trip. Loved the unit (being an older guy) other than the fact they are expensive as mentioned but in opinion well worth the investment.

x2 on the Strongarm,best one I've used.A little pricey but worth it.

If you want to see one look at the 23 Striper for sale in the "Used Vic and other ads",he has one .I've used a couple of different brands and the Strongarm was the only one I didn't think was going to smoke up or blow a fuse,just reliable.

I also have the Strongarm TW 9000 and it pulls my 26 footer with ease
You get what you pay for

I installed this two years ago on my trailer. It pulls my 5500 lb with ease. My previous one (not strong arm or Fulton) blowed up real good after 10 years.
