Trying to calculate the torque requirements for a worm drive / dc motor gearbox calculation if I build this boat loader

Google tells me to multiply distance by the weight to shift to get pounds/foot then convert to Nm (which is what most of the specs. seem to use on the net loking for the dc motor

Image Could Not Be Found

using this diagram i get 3085 ponds/foot. Google conversion gives me 4,192 Nm

am I doing something wrong?..........where do I source a suitable worm drive reduction gearbox with a 12V dc motor suitable?

Thanks .

.hopefully someone can point me in the right rirection
