Title: So far so good!!
Review: So far this is an awesome add to the pontoon. After understanding what this is capable of and what it is not, should enjoy for many years. I have a 16lb river anchor for a 20′ pontoon that I mostly anchor in shallower water and never go boating on windy days. Auto-deploy works flawlessly and horizontal storage is fantastic. You cannot let this thing pull harder than it is designed for or you will just break it. When ready to retrieve anchor, just short pulses on the up button will easily turn your boat to line up the line and then just keep using short duration pulses to draw boat to the anchor. When line is about to be vertical, reach down and pull the line to “unstick” anchor from the muddy bottom then you can winch right up. After a short time with this winch you can hear the amount of grunt it is experiencing and that is telling you that it is about to be overworked, just stay within it’s abilities and it is easy, practical and WAY better than anchoring by hand!!

Title: Loving it.
Review: I installed the Deckboat 35 on my 21′ pontoon early this summer. I use a 15 pound vinyl coated river style mushroom anchor with it. I was concerned that it might not have the power to pull it out of our mucky lake bottom, so I emailed Trac. They said not to use it to lift it out of the bottom, use the boat power to pull it free first. Boy, that negates a lot of the need for a powered anchor. So totally ignoring their advice I have been using it to retrieve the anchor from deep muck. The winch slows down as it frees the anchor from the muck, but does not stall. If it overloaded the winch it should blow the fuse, right? I love that I just push the auto anchor button once from the helm and the anchor drops to the bottom and slowly plays out line so as not to tangle it on the drum, until it magically stops with just enough scope to hold the boat. To retrieve it, you must hold the UP button until the anchor is just below the surface, reach down and swish it back and forth to knock off any remaining muck and carefully bring it up the rest of the way to the storage position. Keeping your fingers out of the way, I might add. I go rogue and don’t use the safety clasp as then I couldn’t drop the anchor from the helm. So far, so good. Oh and it complements nicely my key fob remote for my hydraulic boat hoist.

Title: Great Customer Service
Review: I had the Trac deck boat 40 winch for 1 summer and I thought it was great. First time out the second season, the shaft snapped in half. I cannot find parts for it & Trac is not returning my phone calls.UPDATE: I was able to contact Camco and they replaced to complete Trac Winch. They made it right and I am grateful to Camco.

Title: Trac Outdoors Deckboat 40 AutoDeploy-G3 Electric Anchor Winch
Review: My wife and I are in our 60’s and it was getting harder to pull up the anchors so we purchased two of these electric anchors, I installed one at each end of the boat and mounted the switches by the drivers seat so both can be deployed at the same time, they also come with remotes so they can be operated from any where in the boat. We are very happy with the anchors they have been on the boat and in use for over a year and have had no issues.

Title: Winch works, but forget using the remote
Review: The winch works well, but the remote is useless for two reasons. One, you have to squeeze the buttons so hard it hurts your finger. Two, when using the remote, it doesn’t reel up the winch continuously. It starts, then stops…
