Minn Kota DeckHand 40

Experience effortless anchoring with the DeckHand™ 40, engineered for marine enthusiasts seeking reliability and ease of use. This high-performance anchor system ensures smooth deployment and retrieval, keeping your vessel securely anchored in a variety of marine conditions.

Key Features

• Robust Anchor Capacity: Supports anchors weighing between 20 to 40 pounds (anchor not included), suitable for a wide range of marine vessels.
• Pre-Spooled Rope: Comes pre-spooled with 100 feet of 800-lb test rope, providing ample length and strength for all your anchoring needs.
• Advanced Auto-Drift Technology: Automatically stops the motor when the anchor touches bottom or encounters an obstacle. The system releases rope automatically when slack becomes tight and allows you to lock the winch with a simple button press.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Features a universal davit that can be mounted at the base of the DeckHand™ or in a remote position on the boat deck. The davit stows the anchor horizontally, eliminating anchor swing for a safer anchoring experience.
• Easy Anchor Changeover: Equipped with an anchor shackle, allowing effortless switching between anchors as needed.
• Integrated Controls: Includes a stow and deploy switch integrated into the base of the unit for straightforward operation.
• Remote Operation: Optional corded remote stow and deploy switch (sold separately) enables you to control the DeckHand™ 40 from anywhere on the boat, enhancing convenience and safety.
• Quick Release Compatibility: Compatible with the MKA-16-02 quick release bracket, facilitating easy removal for boat cover clearance or to clear the deck during non-use (requires drilling holes in the top plate of the quick release bracket).
• Reliable Power Source: Operates on a standard 12-volt battery, ensuring consistent performance during your maritime adventures.
