Ken Style Winch Post 18-1/2"BE

The Ken Style Winch Post 18-1/2"BE is a galvanized winch post built by Magic Tilt Trailers with an 18.5-inch bow eye height, designed for mid-size bay boats and bass boats that sit lower on the trailer than the larger offshore rigs. This Ken style post positions your winch and bow roller at the precise height needed to align with the bow eye on boats typically in the 17 to 20 foot range — the sweet spot for the majority of fishing boats launching daily at Bayou Segnette State Park, Lake Pontchartrain, and the network of boat ramps across Jefferson Parish and the Greater New Orleans West Bank. Getting the bow eye height right means your winch strap pulls straight and level, reducing strain on the winch gear and guiding your hull smoothly onto the bunks instead of fighting it at every launch along Highway 90 and the coastal waterways of Southeast Louisiana.

Louisiana bass boat and bay boat owners know that proper winch post height makes the difference between a smooth solo launch and a frustrating ordeal at a crowded ramp. When the post is too tall or too short for your hull, the strap angle puts uneven load on the winch, wears your bow eye hardware prematurely, and can even pull the boat off-center during retrieval. The 18.5-inch bow eye measurement on this Ken style post matches the geometry of mid-size fishing boats that make up the backbone of the recreational fleet from Westwego and Marrero through Harvey, Gretna, and across the entire West Bank. Whether you're Fishing Fanatic Frank dialing in his bass boat trailer for tournament season, Weekend Warrior Will replacing a rusted-out winch post on his family bay boat rig, or a marine repair shop fitting trailers to customer boats with precision, this post delivers the exact height your mid-size boat needs.

At $159.00, this Ken style winch post gives you purpose-built fitment that a universal post can't match. The galvanized steel construction stands up to the saltwater submersion, brackish ramp water, and year-round humidity that define boating in Southeast Louisiana. The base plate bolts to your trailer tongue and the winch mounting points accept standard boat trailer winches, making this a straightforward replacement or upgrade. Perfect for mid-size bay boat trailers, bass boat rigs, and Magic Tilt or aftermarket trailer setups that need an 18.5-inch bow eye height throughout the Gulf Coast region.
