Minn Kota Deckhand 40 anchoring systems provide effortless, precise control over anchor deployment and retrieval at the touch of a button. Designed for fresh and pontoon boats, these electric anchor winches handle 20- to 40-lb anchors (anchor sold separately). Both systems come pre-spooled with 100 feet of 800-lb test nylon rope and feature a versatile universal davit that can be mounted at the base of the unit or remotely on the boat deck. The universal davit stores the anchor horizontally to prevent swinging, and includes an anchor shackle for quick anchor changes.
