I have been looking at some for my Cruise Craft 625 and although I don't know what one I will get yet everyone I speak to seems to say the same thing.

"Spend the money on a good one or it will break in a few months"

I can't recommend any because I haven't bought one although most people seem to think that the brand "quick" are pretty good.

A buddy in NZ put one in & had it attached to his only battery - big mistake!!! It can drain a battery very easily if used a lot on the one day! Get good advice on battery setups if you go ahead with it!

There is always the big float trick, that virtually raises your anchor for you .... just gotta make sure you don't run over your own rope - if done right, it pulls it up for you every time!!
