Acdet 35 lb Electric Anchor Winch 12V for Small Boats — Black, Remote & 100 ft Rope

Acdet's 35 lb 12V electric anchor winch is a complete, saltwater-ready windlass kit that deploys and retrieves anchors via remote control and includes 100 feet of pre-wound rope.

This compact, marine-grade winch is built for small powerboats and watercraft that need a reliable, user-friendly anchoring solution. With a 12V DC motor, black powder-coated housing, and corrosion-resistant components, the kit arrives ready to mount and operate. It’s aimed at boaters who want faster anchor handling, safer single-operator control, and an all-in-one package that eliminates extra shopping for rope or hardware.

How much anchor weight can this winch handle and what does that mean for my boat?

The winch is rated for a 35 lb anchor load, suitable for many speedboats and small to medium-sized vessels in sheltered or nearshore conditions. This capacity describes the static holding and retrieval capability; choose anchor size and type appropriate for your boat’s displacement and expected conditions.

• Rated lifting/retrieval capacity: 35 pounds
• Best for small powerboats, runabouts, and smaller pontoons
• Not intended for commercial heavy-duty anchoring or extreme offshore conditions

What does the kit include and how easy is installation?

The Acdet kit arrives pre-assembled with 100 feet of pre-wound anchor rope, a wireless remote, and all mounting hardware required for a straightforward installation. Basic mechanical and electrical skills are needed to secure the winch and hook it up to a 12V battery; a boating technician can complete mounting and wiring quickly if preferred.

• Included: winch unit, 100 ft pre-wound rope, wireless remote control
• Mounting hardware included for flush or deck mounting
• 12V DC wiring harness and instructions provided

How does the wireless remote improve on-board anchoring safety?

The wireless remote lets you raise or lower the anchor from anywhere on deck, keeping you out of precarious positions at the bow. Remote control reduces the need to lean over railings or move crew during deployment, which helps avoid slips, snags, and balance issues in choppy water.

• Wireless operation for single-operator control
• Range sufficient for most small boat decks (refer to manual for exact distance)
• Simple push-button controls for deploy/retrieve functions

How does this winch hold up in saltwater and what maintenance is required?

The winch uses marine-grade materials and a black powder-coated finish designed to resist salt spray and corrosion, extending its service life in coastal use. Routine maintenance — rinsing with fresh water after salt exposure, inspecting fasteners and electrical connections, and checking rope condition — keeps performance reliable season after season.

• Black powder-coated housing for corrosion resistance
• Materials selected for marine environments; periodic freshwater rinse recommended
• Inspect rope and mounting bolts regularly; lubricate moving parts per manual

Who is this for: The Acdet 35 lb electric anchor winch is aimed at recreational boat owners with small to medium speedboats who want a compact, ready-to-install anchoring system. It suits single operators, families, and weekenders who value safer anchor handling, built-in hardware and rope, and a saltwater-resistant finish. If you need a higher-capacity or commercial-grade windlass, consider larger models, but for many recreational applications this kit balances convenience, durability, and price.
