    • Works great
Works really well on my pontoon boat. Im in my 60's and the anchor was getting to be a chore to pull up several times a day from depths of 40 foot.

I installed the MinnKota Deckhand 40 on my Tracker ProGuide V175 with remote switch and 30lb anchor. This gives me an extra option over the position (anchor) lock I have with my trolling motor and a ProNav setup. The ProNav is great but if you really want to hold a position in wind and waves you need a real anchor. I have a bad shoulder so I needed something that would deploy and retrieve at a touch of a button. The installation was challenging but not the fault of the winch itself. The deck at the bow of my boat has limited room and I had to build a platform for the winch. This required me to move my navigation light and remove a cup-holder and tool caddy (never used them anyway). Since removing these items from the deck left large holes I added an aluminum plate under the deck for added strength. Otherwise, the winch would have just been mounted to marine grade plywood and I wasn't sure the deck would hold up to the repeated stress. I found it easier to remove the cover and motor assembly from the frame for the install. This required unplugging the wires for the load sensing switch and the motor. I removed the motor from the unit which can be done by removing a c-clip and carefully rotating the motor assembly out of the unit. Just be sure not to lose the spring and plastic block at the end of the motor shaft. These parts act as part of the load sensing mechanism in conjuction with the switch. After the removal of the cover and motor you will have complete access to the mounting plate and holes for drilling and mounting the plate. Re-assembly was quite easy. The connectors on the circuit board are marked M+ and M- for proper orientation of the motor wires. The switch wires can be put on either way. The hardest part was getting the motor positioned properly to slide back into the frame. After the motor is in place you can re-install the spring, block, and c-clip. Re-attach the wires and cover and you are good to go. The main electrical connection wires are quite short. I was able to splice these directly into the trolling motor power as both would not be used at the same time. If your power source (battery) is not within a few feet plan on picking up some heavy gauge wire and good splice connectors. If you are not comfortable with altering and drilling holes in your boat and making electrical connections / splices I would suggest you have the winch installed by someone who is. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and I am considering a second winch for the aft of my boat. ... show more

    • Heavy duty

The media could not be loaded. Was heavier than expected. Tested on the bench the auto stop will be a huge benefit. Will definitely make it easier to drop anchor in coves for family time.

First off I dont write reviews so for me to say anything good or bad is unusual but something this handy needs sharing. I strongly think you will see alot of these on fishing boats in the near future. With the cost of spot lock or power poles around 3000 dollars you can do same thing with this maybe better . I've only got to use mine a couple of times but so far I cant ask for anything more out of this anchor . Fast to deploy and fast to reel in . I graph till I find fish and hit the switch and I'm there till I decide to leave . I didnt like the chain making so much noise coming in or out so I just tied the rope straight to the anchor "I know " but now it's super quite . Pretty simple to install once you watch a couple of videos but the instructions are poor to say the least . Sure you can save a couple hundred and pull that rope up yourself or you can touch a button and grab a fishing pole at the same time . If you buy this you will be happy you did. I know I am . ... show more

    • Better than Trac winches, and minimum weight restriction easy to bypass.
I bought a Trac 35 anchor winch first, and was hugely disappointed. The quality was beyond abismal. I wrote a review on it with more detail and pictures if you want to check that out. The quality of this anchor, was top notch by comparison. Much, much larger motor with an all aluminum gear housing. Tolerances and general fit and finish were perfect. I'm using this with a 8 lb claw anchor on a pleasure boat. As the winch is, it will not power down the line with that light of an anchor. There is an electric switch on the shaft on the rope drum. If there is at least 20lbs of force on the rope, the switch will close. If you need to use this winch with a lighter anchor, simply bypass the switch. You can do this by undoing one spade connector, and plugging the other directly in its place on the circuit board. It will take you less than 60 seconds. But when you do this, you need to keep a sharp eye on the anchor rope when lowering. Once you see slack, slow down or stop, and let it out a little bit at a time after that. If you weren't paying attention, there is a good chance you will wrap the rope in the opposite direction on the drum, and now you are pulling the anchor back up. Easy enough to fix, but an unnecessary hassle. But that's a minor issue, and lesser winches without a weight/bottoming detection system do it this way. Overall - vastly superior to the poor quality Trac winches. I love this winch. ... show more

    • At 4 yrs started to release & retract on it’s own
Work great for the first three years and now it will drop/release and retract anchor on its own. Maybe moisture got into the electronics, however, always independently secured it when traveling so that it didn’t release on the road! was hopeful it would be more water resistant as it sits on the back of my pontoon and occasionally will get soaked. Not sure if you can independently replace the electronics, but I imagine It would be price prohibitive, as buying a new one will likely close in expense. ... show more
