Minn KotaDeckhand DH 25R

Quality product. Good retrieval speed. Holds river type anchor securely in the davit during travel.

DH25, using a 15lb anchor on the river. I was very skeptical and read almost every review I could find before deciding on this one. 1st trip out it worked beautifully, it goes down to bottom, then releases line until you hit the button to stop. Depending on amount of line out, it may skip until it grabs ahold. It retrieves the anchor way better than I thought it would, no problem, comes right in while pushing the button. It got stuck once, used trolling motor plus retrieving at the same time, it was too much for it and popped the reset button. Have used it 3-4 times now and this little thing is great relief on my shoulders and no more wet hands when it's cold out. So far, very happy & hope it lasts awhile.

Awesome product! There was quite a bit of splicing and adding additional wire to this set up if you want the up-and-down switch on your boat console (I was expecting this before purchasing).If you do not want to have the up and down switch on your boat console, absolutely by the other Minn Kota 25lb winches with the up-and-down switch that is built directly into the wench. This will save you a ton of time.The unit size is also great for smaller traditional fishing boats. It fit fine on my Lund Deep V. The 40 pound winches are huge and are better off for a pontoon and not a 14 to 16 foot fishing boat.Absolutely a great product and it is working awesome with 20 pound anchors on my set up.

Il devrait avoir plus long de fil électrique ces un peut court peut être 24 pouces de plus serait bon

Works well. Hard to install in my 17' lumicraft competitor. It might not be as difficult in other boats to install. It would be easier to install in a pontoon. It does work the way it says.
