3.2/5
A lot of pull for the money on boats up to about 40 ft with no room below deck. The lack of a stated warranty is the catch.

Pros
- 1,200 lb of maximum pull, the most of any horizontal unit here, for under $1,000
- Whole unit mounts on deck, so no room is needed under the bow
- 316 stainless housing for saltwater
Cons
- No published warranty term
- The 115 ft a minute figure is a drop speed, not a speed under load
- At almost 29 lb it is heavy for a small bow
