Question
will this wench have sufficient pull to lift a boat weighing 1100 pounds?
The wench will fit on a davit (crane) with a roller pully on the end of the arm. I will be lifting a boat a distance of about 20' vertically. Also need spacing on the bolt holes for attaching.

answer 1
Northern Tool does not recommend ever using a winch for lifting. All winches are designed for pulling, and hoists are designed for lifting. Hoists have different brakes designed for holding a vertical load. The only electric hoist we sell that could handle more 1000 lbs could lift this about 18 feet. See link below.

This winch is rated for up to 9000lbs maximum, and has lifted the front end of my 6600lb Dodge Ram off the ground without any trouble.
1100lbs seems well within the lifting capacity, but I wouldn't use it in this capacity without putting a cable brake on your davit so that the winch isn't holding all of the weight alone.
