Anchor winch

Looking at getting a drum winch, looking at savwinch, lone star and tuff winch.

The quintrex doesn't have the largest well, if I look at the 500watt models typically 200mm dia they hold about 60-65m of 6mm rope and 5-6m of chain. Seems a tad short to me and I would prefer to have closer to a 100m or am I being pedantic? Really only fish river, bay or close inshore.

What model Quintrex do you have?

I looked at one of these a while ago but I didn't take it too far after buying a Minnkota i-Pilot.

I am reconsidering fitting one so I would be interested in what you find.

Hey mate, i dont think you will need 100m+. After all these years fishing similar to your style, think i used 50m if that just once, only because i decided to let all the rope go haha. Didnt need to!
