"I just wanted to start out that I have owned the boat since 2007. It did not have an anchor windlass and I anchored out many times a season using a helper to pull the anchor while I was at the helm. Anchoring out alone was a chore, even in just a light wind. Since I installed the EZ system last year and used it for a full season, it is definitely a game changer. I can now go out and anchor at multiple spots in a single day by just standing up in the convertible at the helm and using the supplied remote control. No one has to go forward at any time. I read about the many issues of a windlass, and this drum system has been bullet proof with dozens of retrievals and no issue with the 175 ft of 1/2 nylon and about 50 ft of stainless chain. With the Rocna anchor and chain weight, it would be near impossible to pull up by hand. I am currently operating the boat in the upper Chesapeake.

I installed the Rebel EZ-4 Anchor Puller on my 1987 Silverton 34 ft convertible. The installation instructions made install easy (obviously there is some work, but the kit made it easier). The mechanical install up front on the boat went well with the backing plates provided in the kit. Make sure you do some planning and marking prior to starting the install. I opted to put a third battery forward which is charged by the engines and now part of the total battery bank. Again, with the support and instructions, the total install went really well and quicker than I thought.

I usually do not do many reviews, but the customer support and product performance deserves my endorsement. The EZ Anchor support has always answered all my questions and provided the details needed for a good customer experience.

"I purchased the E-Z 5 1 1/2 years ago. It has worked perfectly until it did not. I called the factory and total them it must be the motor. They send me a motor. Still did not work. I contacted a marine electrician who found the 1/0 battery cable that was installed 34 years ago that rounded a wooden bulkhead has worn 95%
thru so only a few wires were left. Just enough to show power but when switch was engaged there was no power. New cable and works perfectly.

The point is the factory helped anyway they could to get me up and running again. You call and they answer. Great people to work with. Capt. Chuck White Pacific Venture Charter Service Ca."

"I come from pulling an anchor all day long, when I heard of the EZ Anchor I wanted to purchase one ASAP! After being on a boat with one and seeing how easy it was to use, I gave them a call and had purchase a Rebel 4! Just got the Drum Installed a few days ago. I took the boat out over the weekend and got to use it myself. I never been so happier to go anchor somewhere and not have to worry about pulling the anchor up manually! NO MORE worrying about hitting the side of the boat or instructing someone on how to pull it into the boat. The best part is, it literally a push of a button!

Very awesome product from EZ-Anchor Pullers. Can't wait to go fishing and anchor at ease! "

"The EZ Anchor Puller is the only electric drum winch on the market. That free falls. Powerful and reliable this is the Winch to own! Best customer service in the business and a seven year warranty that you’ll never need!"

"Incredible product
Incredible customer service
Money well spent"

"Great customer support for appropriate sizing and mounting configuration for specialty installation. Robust product has performed well "

"I had surgery this summer and still have not installed it yet."

"It makes anchoring so much easier, Just push the switch and the anchor rolls up. It is well built and strong."

"The people at EZ Anchor have always been very helpful plus when I phone someone usually answers or returns my call in a timely manner which is rare for me to be able to speak with an actual person. The other plus is they know their product and have answers for my questions."

"The ability to set and retrieve the anchor with the push of a button from the helm as apposed to having to exit the cabin and climb up to the bow and manually drop or retrievie the anchor is wonderful. This was definitely one of the best upgrades you can make to your boat."

"I really like this winch. It is quiet, very strong and fast. And it is holding up well to salt water. The 12v wireless controller that I ordered with it was not the best though. The controllers had poor range, they are not waterproof, and they run down the batteries really quickly. Also, they they activate the winch for about 3/4 of a turn, even if you just tap the button for an instant. We eventually tossed the controller and bought a wireless winch controller from a 4x4 company, and have had much better results. "

"I bought the tritoon winch with the retractable davit for my Godfrey pontoon. Installation wasn’t too bad. The directions make it very clear how to mount it. I use the anchor almost every time I go out and it works incredibly well"

"1. I CALLED THE ORDER DESK AND GAVE THE MY BOAT MODEL AND LENGTH.
2. THEY TOLD ME WHAT I NEEDED, GAVE THE PRICING AND OPTION FOR ANCHOR FAST FALL.
3. PLACES THE ORDER AND HAD IT MOUNTED ON MY BOAT.
4. EVERYTHING WORKS!!!

"I recently installed the Ez rebel 5 on my kingfisher 3025 and I don’t know how I lived without one of these drum pullers. I used 30ft of half inch anchor chain,300ft of half inch anchor line and a backing of 200ft of 3/8 spectra line and it fits with some extra room. Install was EZ and there is plenty of power to hand pulling all the line anchor chain and 22lb Bruce anchor from he depths. So far so good with this product I cannot wait to use it more in the future. I will be recommending this to all my charter buddies. Thanks for a great product.

"The winch itself works great! Needs a fairlead to work properly on a pontoon houseboat! One was not offered to us. Don't see a way to put one on. One other part came with it, not the answer, one other part was purchased seperately, not the answer either. Needs a fairlead!"
