This is a great item until you have a need for parts. my elderly neighbor is 86 years old and still fishing after two bouts of cancer. I installed this on his boat to make life easier for him and it worked great for awhile . When it quit altogether was when we found out about the lousy parts replacement system from Minn-Kota. What was needed was a simple set of brushes for the Chinese made electrical 12 volt motor which is a very normal parts replacement item from most reputable companies that normally cost less then five bucks.Actually we only needed a single brush but they usually are better replaced in pairs Mot minkota.. you have to buy the whole motor and get this also the attached gear drive and transmission which has four screws attaching it to the the anchor lift.

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Minn Kota Deckhand 40 Electric Anchor Winch (40 Lbs. Capacity) (Sports)
I bought three Deck hand 40 anchor winches and within a three year period all have been inoperable. Also to get the part that i need i would have to buy the whole motor @ $164.00.

1.0 out of 5 stars Carbon brushes VS Min kota copper/carbon brushes, April 27, 2011
This review is from: Minn Kota Deckhand 40 Electric Anchor Winch (40 Lbs. Capacity) (Sports)
Min kota does make getting the replacement brushes impossible to get, but you can acquire plain carbon brushes from any good motor repair shop. Take yours with you to compare. It took awhile, but I found them for under $20. and my motor works fine.
