I'm 90% there with my plan I'll let you know what I've gone for when the battery people come back.

Why not just put a tack weld onto the threads of the securing bolts so they can't be undone without a grinder?

We have a winch on our trailer at work. Dunno what capacity it is, but we use it for hauling 1.7T cricket rollers up and down.
On the back of the truck (old shape nevara) there is a 2pin socket which is hardwired via an inline fuse straight up to the truck battery.

I'd get some of the thin (probably 6mm) Dyneema from somewhere like David Bowyer's Off Road Centre if I wanted synth rope.

Will it really put that much on the hitch weight on a twin axle trailer?

Its 30 -32kg for the winch + fiting kit and it will sit within 750 mm of the hitch so got to be getting that way

Why not undersling the winch further back and stick a pulley where your current winch is?
Either that or use a pin to hitch the boat to the cradle through the bow eye and winch the cradle from a different point but have the winch permanently connected?
<edit> 40kg wouldn't take much axle movement to offset given the weight of your rig would it?

Just going to have to play around with the setup you should see the battery they are recommending

Yes and they have flushing systems attached to them and new bearings every year - although it would probably help if I got round to fitting the bearing savers I have on the shelf!

Well made it up and tried it on Sunday
Worked well needed the trolley a little deeper to get the rib on and a couple of other mods including a bracing bar for the winch post, but getting there. I have got a wireless remote(two controllers for when the first gets wet  ) so you can control it while checking how the boat is going o
The winch also slides off so I can put it in the car when i'm on the water

Solid slicks make it interesting
