Work from your loaded weight — hull, motor, full fuel, batteries, safety gear, the lot — not the dry figure on the plate. Then leave real margin, because a steep ramp, tired rollers and a wet surface all raise what the winch has to drag. If it is close, size up.
On a light tinnie you mostly drive onto the trailer, no. On anything heavier, or a steep ramp where the hull is still floating, you will feel every turn. What the low ratio buys you is speed — fewer handle turns for each metre of line coming in.
Webbing is kinder to a fibreglass bow eye, lies flat on the drum and will not put a steel burr through your palm. Galvanised cable handles grit and abrasion better and stows tighter. The bare drum only makes sense if the line you already own is still sound.
