Picking up a new trailer- Triton LTCWI-TX comments?

[Mike1646]

Good idea, thanks

- it's such a popular trailer.

Perhaps buy a good used Triton trailer with the Knott winch stand type you are hunting for.

Then re-sell the used trailer with your 'old' winch stand installed.

He said they were still waiting for authorization and that they had a lot of parts in stock.
I don’t understand why is it so difficult to find this kind of parts, it’s such a popular trailer.

I called Kascar, they told me that Triton was sold to a different aluminum trailer company (Aluma) if I recall.

They told me that they were not allowed to sell any triton parts.

- In November 2021, Triton Trailers was acquired by ALCOM LLC. Since 2006, ALCOM LLC has manufactured top quality, all-aluminum trailer solutions. The company's portfolio exceeds 960 standard models across 9 brands. Combining an extensive dealer network with four production facilities throughout the United States

Hmmm 🤔

They don’t carry it. The old triton trailer that I had wasn’t that bad, but can’t find it either.

- tried to place an order

Try this place.
They have been rather good about finding what we have needed.
Overall fairly reasonable pricing.

Might work best to call them directly since you are looking for an 'unusual' item

This is what I get when I tried to place an order

[Beernutz]

This part is very hard to find without an actual part number.

I linked to the part available for order along with the part number.

Where can I order that winch post from?

It should be a standard replacement winch, sold by Triton through their dealers. You would need to verify that the Triton part number you order will be of the type you want.

Probably also available through Eastern Marine and other online Triton Trailer parts sources

- 2022 LTWCI-X - winch - shifted towards the new ski - after a few weeks -

-I was able to adjust it but wondering if anyone had the similar issue and what was done to remediate. -

That looks like an older version of the Triton winch tower.
The arm angle for the bow roller is held in position using just the friction of the two arms against the sides of the winch post, using the two parallel bolts.

My older 2008 Triton Elite had a similar configuration. It 'worked' but the arm angle would shift when the winch strap tension was high, such as winching a heavy PWC into place with high bunk friction. I used a bunk lubricant to reduce the effort needed to slide the hull on the carpeted bunks.

The winch tower design * on my 2017 Triton WC2-2 has the Knott winch mounted with the arm, not on top of the winch post. The arm angle is clamped in place using a bolt through the winch tower plus the bolts holding the winch base in place.

Beyond torquing up those two bolts to clamp the arms as tightly as possible to the winch post, you could consider upgrading to the Knott winch version of the Triton winch tower.


* I did upgrade my bow rollers to Stoltz orange and added a guide roller for the strap to the middle of the arm.
