    Works great on a 20 foot pontoon boat. Installation should be handled by someone with mechanical ability. The power cables are a little short to reach most pontoon boat batteries if mounting on a bracket on the stern. But overall, this is a GREAT investment.

    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.

    Wow the perfect life saving anchor system. No more getting up and walking to the bow and pulling in the anchor. It is a safety feature I love. No more back straining either. No more tipping the boat or falling over from that experience. I mounted it to the bow of my alumacraft 12 foot row boat with stainless steel bolts, lock washers, & nuts.. It took some figuring out, drilling, and bolting the base plate to the bow. Then I just slip on the MinnKota Deckhand 40 electric anchor winch and lock it in place. I then hook up my 25 pound anchor. In the Fall I just remove the anchor & the winch and leave the base plate bolted on. I flip my boat over onto the boat trailer and strap it down for the winter after removing the stuff from the boat. When I tow the boat I have a 5 gallon plastic bucket in the bow for stowing the anchor. One is not to let it hang while hauling the boat per MinnKota's instructions. The 5 gallon bucket keeps the anchor in place while hauling and prevents it from beating up the boat. It takes a minimum of 25 pounds up to a max of 40 pound for anchors to work. I discovered my 15 pound anchor was too light for this system. I had to use a minimum of 25 pounds. I have had this system on my boat for at least three years. The two: MinnKota 55 pound thrust electric tiller motor and MinnKota power winch are a great combo with my Sears 12 volt marine deep cycle battery. I can go fishing with ease for hours. I usually only go for up to 3 hours with power to spare. Keep in mind weather, wind, and distances are important factors to keep tract of. Plus does the boat launch have a port jon or better? LOL. I have a set of oars in case. I do row a lot too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for fishing !

    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 .

    AMAZING MINN KOTA

    I used the Winch last week when we went for our annual fishing trip. We were at Clear and Stoney lake. This unit is one of the best made and easiest to install. The performance out of 10 would be 12. It picked up heavy amounts of weeds like they were feathers. The drag worked perfectly and kept us stable during rough waters Used it for 7 days and did not have to boost the battery. I used a 20 lbs anchor and it locked in perfectly and didn't move going through waves a 30 miles an hour. I did not get the remote control because I have a 70 year old remote control who was always tossing the anchor out and hauling it back in. The only thing that got tired on him this time was his finger pushing up and pushing down. He wanted to sleep in the boat so one would touch it. I would recommend this product to anyone who fishes a lot like myself. If you fish alone the remote control is perfect for you. You can sit at the back and control the winch in the front. Life is to short, enjoy fishing as much as you can and the Minn Kota Deckhand 40 will make much more pleasurable

    Works great

    Get the remote switch with it! Easy to use. I have 2, one for the front and one for the back. I run a 25# Pyramid off the front and a 20# pyramid off the back. Keeps my 16 ft Princecraft in the position perfectly.

    Make your wife happy.

    My lovely wife first said “No”, to me wanting to purchase this, now loves it as she lifts the anchor and moves the boat anywhere on the water she likes, while I sit on the back and smile. 😎
