Works great, very strong winch, will pull 28lb anchor out of thick river mud with ease!! Really appreciate not having to pull the anchor by hand. I switched to a 28lb anchor and it grabs great in swift current and I don’t have to jump up to pull the anchor. I think it’s a great safety feature as well. Planning to add on on the rear of the boat for sideways fishing. ... show more

    • Anchoring ease
I have two of these on my lake boat, forward and aft. I fish in lakes that can be quite deep and manual anchor deployment and retrieval is out of the question. These wenches take all of the work out of it and allow me to move around and re-anchor with little effort. No issues with operation so far. Installation was a bit of a chore but nothing that a handy DIYer can't handle. ... show more

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

    • Great, but faulty rope on mine
I really like this unit. It was easy to install on my pontoon and works well. I tested it out with my 27 lb. anchor right away in ten foot of water by my dock and all was good. Then I used it once in twenty-five foot of water. No problem. A week later I used it in forty foot of water and noticed that the nylon anchor rope's outer yellow component split or tore apart and there was a 5-6 foot section of white under cord exposed. I guess all I can do is replace it with a better quality one. I'm sorry I couldn't give this unit a five star because it's going to save me a lot of work. ... show more

    • NICE PRODUCT
Jan 1st and a beautiful day so I installed the Deckhand 40 on my small pontoon boat. It is very quiet and has good power. I plan to order a remote switch now. The reason it requires a minimum 20lb anchor is it's freefall drop capability. It will not drop freely with less weight and they really don't explain this feature in the sales literature. I didn't know it even had that feature. I have a 20lb anchor and it worked great, sitting on the trailer, in January. It freely drops the anchor and pulls it up and parks it horizontally. Optimum anchor weight is probably 30lbs. I bought this needing a 20lb anchor but the Deckhand 25 didn't seem as nice. My guess is from testing it today that if you are using the maximum anchor weight or even greater it may bind the rewind spool tight which explains the negative reviews. The same thing happens on my SxS when I pull excessive weight on its winch. If your boat is big enough that you need a minimum 40lb anchor then don't buy a winch that has a 40lb max capability. ... show more

    • Check to make sure it works before you lose your 30 day return or pay out your money to send back
Check to make sure it works as it should before your return window runs out. It has a 2 year warranty but you have pay to return it. I use a 30# river anchor. I've used the same kind of anchor on both of my anchor mates since 2018. I didn't use it for almost a year but this spring it didn't want to go down or come up. I put an 18# anchor on and it didn't work as it should with that. I sent it back and just decided to fix my old one. ... show more

    • Great anchor winch; don't forget to order the remote switch
Bought his for the pontoon boat. I really detested dragging the anchor out of the locker, messing with the rode, coiling it up nicely and then stowing it again. This winch removed all that frustration. Installation is pretty trivial. Drill holes and bolt it on. Tie figure 8 knot to connect rode to anchor shackle. Connect power wires. You probably also want the "MinnKota Deckhand 40 Remote Switch", so might as well order that at the same time, unless you have a compatible anchor switch (SPDT) installed and do not want to replace it. I replaced the one I had, which was mounted on the dashboard in a standard rectangular switch mounting hole. You can remove the "MinnKota Deckhand 40 Remote Switch" from its housing and mount it in a rectangular switch mounting hole, which is what I did. This winch is really cool and I repeatedly dropped and weighed anchor just for the fun of it. ... show more
