I've heard a lot of cons on electric winches the rope jumps off the winch spool jams thespool and burns out the motor, myself I am going to use a manual Anchor Mate. MCOPELAND1 |

A friend of mine has this problem with his electric winch. I just deploy and recover my anchors by hand. |

You might want to read reviews in Cabela's on line.Most seemed to like Trac better.My first Trac burned out in season and 1/2,but I was using too heavy anchor.I went to heavy one,works better,but NOISY!Best price is Overton,s.

I've got the Trac 35 and haven't had problems for the 4 years I've owned it. I bought it at Bass Pro for under $150. |

I have 2 @ Anchor Mates manual for my Matthew 16' boat, I just push the released button and the mushroom weight goes down, cranking it up isn't hard. Sometime you may have to use some muscle but to this date never had a problem with it. To me the more electrical equipment you put on the boat more the problems you'll be looking and have to check out.
