Minn Kota Deckhand 25 Electric Anchor Winch Installation |
|
I bought two of these. One for the bow and one for the stern. The one for the bow I had to drill new holes in the mounting bracket in order for it to fit. The stern will take some major work to adapt it and I haven't installed it yet. The one I do have installed works fine though. |

Deckhand anchor wench |
|
Great wench for small boats. I use it on my bass boat and it works perfectly. Very easy to install. It took me about 1 1/2 hrs to complete. |

Trouble |
|
We have trouble with the electric anchor, The cord tends to backlash and ties itself all around the wheel. so far it has been a battle. Nothing like we expected. If I could I would return it. Great idea not such a great thing. |

WOW!! |
|
Product works like a charm on my bass boat. No problems. Plenty of power for my 20 lb anchor. Pretty quiet and easy on my battery. Sure takes the drudgery out of the old cranking type. |

Disappointing |
|
The item was installed per instructions and contacts with tech support. The DH 25 proved to be unusable for most of the one week fishing trip that it was purchased for use on. The rope continued to tangle and run off the side of the spool(inside the housing) and become inoperable. The unit had to be taken appart at least three times. The case was damaged when a tangle pulled the spool lose internally. When discussng this yesterday, the tech suggested an alignment problem. This is not the case, since the rope guide and unit is mounted on the nose of the boat directly behind, and in alignment with the davit. I suggested that the rope was installed incorrectly to begin with, and should be completely unwound and rewound. The tech agreed with the approach. There is nothing in the instructional manual that indicates that the rope may need to be rewound before initial use -- in the meantime, the unit is unusable and the case and rope are damaged. I will make the fix, again, and write this investment off as a disappointing purchase. I own other Minn Kota products , so was surprised at the lack of quality. |
