CURT

CURT is one of North America's leading towing brands, best known for durable towing gear — including boat trailer winches, safety cables, and trailer accessories. Built tough and engineered for real-world use, CURT gear is trusted by boaters from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic.

Yes — CURT winches are purpose-built for boat trailers, with cold-forged steel gears for extra strength, secure locking levers, and comfortable grips. Whether you're launching at a busy ramp on the BC coast or a quiet lake, they're designed to make the job quick and reliable.

CURT offers hand crank winches ranging from 1,400 lb to 3,800 lb capacity. As a general rule, choose a winch rated for at least the gross weight of your boat. The 2-speed model is a great all-rounder for heavier setups.

Some CURT winches include a strap — the 1400 lb hand crank comes with a 20-foot polyester strap. Others, like the 2-speed winch, require a strap purchased separately. CURT's 2-3/8" x 23' winch strap with snap hook is a popular and compatible match.

A 1-speed winch is simpler and works well for lighter boats. A 2-speed winch gives you a high-speed gear for easy pulling and a low-speed gear for extra mechanical advantage when loading heavier vessels — ideal if you're regularly hauling a bigger rig.

CURT's 44-inch safety cables are rated to a 7,500 lb minimum break force and feature coiled, vinyl-coated steel with a latching snap hook on each cable. The coiled design keeps them from dragging, and the safety latches hold better than S-hooks over bumps and rough roads. They meet standard trailer safety requirements and are sold as a 2-pack — solid peace of mind for any trailering setup.

CURT's chrome-plated bearing protectors feature a built-in grease reservoir that keeps bearings lubricated and protected from water intrusion — especially important when launching and retrieving in saltwater or brackish coastal conditions common on the BC coast.

CURT makes both a plug-style adapter and a coiled harness version for converting a 7-way RV blade connector to a 4-way flat. Both are plug-and-play with no wiring required — just connect and go.

CURT's universal coupler lock fits 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" couplers and uses a ratcheting hardened steel design with a chrome U-lock. It's a simple, visible deterrent that helps keep your trailer secure at the ramp, campsite, or storage yard.
