Review: You have to use 20lb minimum anchor weight - Works great, very strong winch, will pull 28lb anchor out of thick river mud with ease!! Really appreciate not having to pull the anchor by hand. I switched to a 28lb anchor and it grabs great in swift current and I don’t have to jump up to pull the anchor. I think it’s a great safety feature as well. Planning to add on on the rear of the boat for sideways fishing. Review: Anchoring ease - I have two of these on my lake boat, forward and aft. I fish in lakes that can be quite deep and manual anchor deployment and retrieval is out of the question. These wenches take all of the work out of it and allow me to move around and re-anchor with little effort. No issues with operation so far. Installation was a bit of a chore but nothing that a handy DIYer can't handle. ## Features - One-Touch Automation: Automatically raises and lowers anchor at touch of button for convenient, hands-free anchoring operation - Heavy-Duty 40-Lb Capacity: Features 40-lb anchor capacity and comes pre-spooled with 100 feet of 800-lb test nylon rope - Versatile Davit Mounting: Universal davit can be mounted at base or in remote position and stows anchor horizontally - Anti-Drag System: Special anti-drag system senses bottom to allow for controlled drifting at desired depth - Integrated Controls: Stow and deploy switch is integrated into base of unit for easy operation and clean installation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000E8HXA8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #157,897 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #104 in Boat Anchors | | Brand | Minn Kota | | Brand Name | Minn Kota | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,055) | | Date First Available | September 23, 2008 | | Engine Type | electric | | Fishing Technique | All | | Fuel Type | electric | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00029402017843 | | Included Components | Pre-wired Anchor Winch with 44 inch 10AWG Lead Wire with Battery Ring Terminals and Wire Connectors; Pre-spooled with 100 feet of 800-lb test nylon rope; Mounting Hardware; Remote Mountable Anchor Davit; Owner’s Manual | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 17 x 14 x 12 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 16.8 x 13.9 x 12.5 inches | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Minn Kota | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | DeckHand | | Model Year | 2009 | | Mounting Type | multiple | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | automatic | | Package Weight | 10.59 Kilograms | | Part Number | 1810140 | | Recommended Uses For Product | For Fishing Boats | | Size | One Size | | Sport Type | Fishing | | Style | Winches | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | UPC | 807320397984 778890567490 803983114838 029402017843 066510890203 744288424157 | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | 2 year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Minn Kota - **Color:** Black - **Engine Type:** electric - **Item Weight:** 4 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![Deckhand Electric Anchor Winch – DH-40 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k4p-EPxIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this the same model as the Deckhand 40 selling for $229?** A: Yes I think it is **Q: Can this be mounted under a pontoon boat deck? I have no room to mount on top.** A: No, It is not resistant to the impact of waves. Check out the PTR 350 that is designed to go between pontoons. However, it is $1000.00 + item. **Q: What is the distance from back of unit to front of** A: 17 inches fully extended when in use. rop guide bracket mount slides in on top the motor housing bracket base too mount as one unit. You can mount motor and rop guide bracket separately distance up too the installer **Q: What's the difference between the Deckhand 40 and the pontoon Deckhand?** A: Mine is mounted on the bow of my boat, but it can be mounted on a pontoon boat also. I had to modify the bow of my alumacraft 12 footer to fit the base plate of the Minnkota anchor assembly. It was fairly easy to modify. I used 8 gauge insulated wires so it would have enough current to be operated. I sit in the back and operate it. It can be operated from the unit too. I also have Minnesota 55 lb thrust electric motor hooked up to the same deep cycle marine battery. I think these two anchor systems look the same. You can always call Minnkota. Mine takes a minimum weight anchor of 25 pounds. Anything lighter won't work. Maximum anchor weight is 40 pounds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You have to use 20lb minimum anchor weight *by F***O on August 4, 2025* Works great, very strong winch, will pull 28lb anchor out of thick river mud with ease!!

These wenches take all of the work out of it and allow me to move around and re-anchor with little effort. No issues with operation so far. Installation was a bit of a chore but nothing that a handy DIYer can't handle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fresh install, Good Quality. *by T***N on July 10, 2019* I installed the MinnKota Deckhand 40 on my Tracker ProGuide V175 with remote switch and 30lb anchor. This gives me an extra option over the position (anchor) lock I have with my trolling motor and a ProNav setup. The ProNav is great but if you really want to hold a position in wind and waves you need a real anchor. I have a bad shoulder so I needed something that would deploy and retrieve at a touch of a button. The installation was challenging but not the fault of the winch itself. The deck at the bow of my boat has limited room and I had to build a platform for the winch. This required me to move my navigation light and remove a cup-holder and tool caddy (never used them anyway). Since removing these items from the deck left large holes I added an aluminum plate under the deck for added strength. Otherwise, the winch would have just been mounted to marine grade plywood and I wasn't sure the deck would hold up to the repeated stress. I found it easier to remove the cover and motor assembly from the frame for the install. This required unplugging the wires for the load sensing switch and the motor. I removed the motor from the unit which can be done by removing a c-clip and carefully rotating the motor assembly out of the unit. Just be sure not to lose the spring and plastic block at the end of the motor shaft. These parts act as part of the load sensing mechanism in conjuction with the switch. After the removal of the cover and motor you will have complete access to the mounting plate and holes for drilling and mounting the plate. Re-assembly was quite easy. The connectors on the circuit board are marked M+ and M- for proper orientation of the motor wires. The switch wires can be put on either way. The hardest part was getting the motor positioned properly to slide back into the frame. After the motor is in place you can re-install the spring, block, and c-clip. Re-attach the wires and cover and you are good to go. The main electrical connection wires are quite short. I was able to splice these directly into the trolling motor power as both would not be used at the same time. If your power source (battery) is not within a few feet plan on picking up some heavy gauge wire and good splice connectors. If you are not comfortable with altering and drilling holes in your boat and making electrical connections / splices I would suggest you have the winch installed by someone who is. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and I am considering a second winch for the aft of my boat. ## Frequently Bought Together - Minn Kota Deckhand DH 40 Electronic Anchor Winch - MinnKota Deckhand 40 Remote Switch , Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1961792-deckhand-electric-anchor-winch-dh-40](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1961792-deckhand-electric-anchor-winch-dh-40) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
