Pros
- Small enough for a jon boat or bass boat deck, with the roller built in
- Lifts the anchor at the push of a button, so nobody hauls rope by hand
- Comes ready to go with 100 ft of rope, a breaker and the switch
Cons
- Rated only for anchors up to 25 lb, so it is for small boats on lakes and rivers
- No wireless remote in the box
- Only a one year warranty
