Minn Kota Deckhand™ 25

The Minn Kota Deckhand 25 electric anchor winch delivers precision boat placement and hands-free anchor control at the touch of a button. With a 25-pound anchor capacity and pre-spooled with 60 feet of 800-pound test nylon rope, this 12-volt system automatically raises or lowers your anchor, eliminating the physical labor of manual anchor handling while keeping you locked on your fishing spot or anchorage point.

The Deckhand 25 features a special anti-drag system that senses anchor load and prevents unwanted drift—critical for holding position in current or wind without constant attention. The integrated davit allows you to stow most anchor styles securely on deck, keeping your boat organized and improving sight lines. Running on a standard 12-volt battery (not included), the system operates with simple push-button control, whether you're deploying in shallow flats or deeper offshore waters. The 800-pound test rope handles the typical anchor weights and bottom conditions recreational and serious anglers encounter.

This winch is purpose-built for boaters who want to focus on fishing rather than anchor management. Weekend anglers benefit from the convenience and reduced fatigue; offshore fishermen appreciate the reliability and consistent holding power for extended periods on structure or deeper grounds. The Deckhand 25 is suitable for center-console boats, bay boats, and smaller cabin cruisers where a mid-range anchor capacity and compact footprint are ideal. Whether you're targeting inshore species or working deeper waters, the automated control and anti-drag protection keep your boat in the right position without manual monitoring.
