TRAC Pontoon 35 Anchor Winch

Comments about TRAC Pontoon 35 Anchor Winch:

The wireless remote that can be bought for this is a must. I had one before on my 17 foot skiff so I wanted one for my new boat. Keeps the anchor line out of the way, makes for easy stop and go fishing. I recommend when installing the wireless use small stainless steel srews after drilling small holes in the mounting plate. The button on the unit will still work but you can drop the achor from anywhere on the boat. My last one lasted 3 years and was still going strong when I sold my boat to buy this new one.

The plastic gear will not last through a trial run, and these are still being sold!

I did some research about the complaints on the plastic drive gear. I checked with Track Company and they informed me that they upgraded to a better plastic, then finally a steel gear. The unit I bought from Gander had the old plastic gear. However the customer service from Track was fantastic, told me if it had the plastic gear they would send me another before I even used it, they did. I have never dealt with a company with better customer service, also had issues with the wireless remote, same story, they sent me a replacement key fob and relay, works the b---.

I might add this was the least expensive unit I found, only reason I bought it was it was the only unit that had a wireless remote, not the low Gander price.

I would recomend this unit to anyone and the company stands behind what they make with no questions asked.

Gander had the best price, quite a bit cheaper than the factory and no shipping, otherwise I would have bought direct.

Track is coming out with a Salt Water version if you intend to use it in the Salt, contact them.

I bought this to use it on my regal. I needed a rear anchor to stop the swing. It mounted on the swim platform ok. It will not pull a 30 lb anchor up. It does have a plastic gear which strips out under pressure. Never had it in the water. I call the parts line they said they were in the process of having a metal gear made to replace the plastic one and it should be ready in a few weeks. I have not seen it yet? Hum! I am stuck since I have already mounted it to my deck. Not a small task in itself. For less than $100.00 I could have bought a 2000 lb wench from [@] The telephone number for the trac parts is [@] you might call and find out if the metal gear is in before you buy and try.

I have attached the Trac 35 to a Lund Explorer Fishing boat. It was easily installed and gives me the extra holding power a 25 lb. wouldn't. The only negative comment is when I ordered the Trac 35, I asked about a remote control and the service rep. said they didn't have any for this item. I now will have to order thatitem separately [...].
