Pros
  • Auto drift stops the anchor at the bottom, so you can drift at a set depth
  • Davit stows most anchor styles at the bow or in a remote spot
  • Two year warranty, twice the TRAC winches
Cons
  • Only 60 ft of rope, too short for deeper water
  • Minn Kota publishes no line speed or pull rating
  • No remote: the switch is on the base
