My boat is a 16 foot boat.
The literature states it can handle a 40lb anchor.
Thanks for the feedback...

Anybody have experience with the Minn Kota DeckHand Series?
They are electric anchor winches.
Anybody used them? How do the work? Do they hold up well?
I'm looking at putting a DeckHand40 on my boat...But want some feedback from some that have used them as to there usefullness or should I keep looking?
I found them for about 250 bucks and that includes shipping.

Not a problem...I'm looking for feedback and you are giving some...
I was hoping some of the river guys had tried them to give me a real world test though...
90% of the time my little 16 foot boat probably would only need 30lbs of anchor...but you never know.
I don't want to be under powered but yet I don't want to be so rediculously over powered either.

Might be hard to get feedback however since the model i'm looking at DeckHand 40 (DH-40) is brand new in 2004...
Maybe I'll have to blaze a trail?
The reviews of the product that I have read so far say they have upgraded the gears and added more teeth and they upped the torque.

Thanks guys...I think I have come to the though that I'm going to put a Devit? whatever those things are called on my bow and also one of those anchor rope grippers that hold the anchor rope in place based on a spring...
And use good ole fashioned bicep power...
I can think of a lot of other cool stuff I want to do with my boat/fishintackle than drop a winch on it...
Again thanks for the feedback guys...
I'm gonna get some of that heavy link chain probably a couple sections so i can add and subtract as needed.
Spanky do you think i would hold in the Zoo with 30lbs? Or should I just go for the 40lbs right off the bat?
