Does the design of this winch allow it to be mounted to the back of a pontoon boat where there isn't as much deck room as the front?

The winch will work fine off the stern as long as you have 17 inches from the edge of the boat to whatever you have mounted on the rear ie. fencing, fuel tank batteries etc.The winch is roughly 16.5" long and 10" wide.

Unfortunately due to the bad weather, we haven't even pulled our boat out of storage to mount it yet. Sorry.

it would work, but yes, you will have to drill into the boat floor. we use it over the gunnel, but that wouldn't work for a pontoon boat...

I don't really know...I don't have a 22' pontoon boat.... but what I have is a 18' tent trailer and I place it in the place where the kitchen table sits. This area is probably a 3 x 3 foot spot and it works fine for the wife.

I would definitely not recommend this for a winch. This is not a power supply that will give much Ah power especially sustained, this is a light duty for basically LED lighting only. You will do nothing but fry out the power supply.

It is designed to mount on the side of a smaller craft. I guess it would come down to what is the distance between the rail and the water. I do not believe that Hummingbird designed this model with pontoons in mind. V-hual- flat bottom crafts in the 10' foot to 16' range I beliueve would be suitable for this locator. I would think that a look at other Hummingbird products might better serve your purpose. Something with a detachable transducer.

Yes, you can mount it on a pontoon. I put my downrigger on the corner of the pontoon boat but attached it to a raised storage area. A clamp on the rail should work, though. Make sure you secure it well!

I use it on my 24 foot pontoon boat and the motor head is about a foot and a half under water. I prefer to stand while fishing and use a handle extender.

Yes, according to the manufacturer, though I haven't done so yet. There is a small flat area on the inside of the right-rear compartment that is meant to be used to attach a trolling motor. Drawback would appear to be the need to sit facing backwards in order to control a simple trolling motor. Also, so far as I can tell, the battery would need to sit unsecured on the floor of the boat. I wasn't aware of the mount mentioned by M. Evans but may look into it to see if it makes mounting a motor easier.

I no longer have this model, but I seem to recall it only was drilled for standard size winches. Not to say you can't drill the pattern yourself, there is plenty of space.

If you have a drive on trailer and only use the strap to tighten it down , yes. If you winch all the way I think the strap might be a little light,

Quite possible! As long as you load only the front of your paddle boat and use the carrier to ease pulling your boat for short distances on firm ground.

Hello Jose. It MIGHT depending upon a few variables. First and foremost the OVERALL DIMENSION of this winch is 15.1" L x 4-1/2" D x 4.8" H. The MOUNTING PATTERN of this winch is 3" x 6.66" inches. Hope this helps. Bert Camp

Winch works on any 12v battery, so if you can design a mount for the winch, you can use it as long as system is 12v.

I have square railing on my pontoon boat and it mounts great. Tightens very nice, but haven't caught a big fish yet to see how well it holds up them. I need this kind that I can take off and move when I need them. Can't have one mounted to the rail when I have the storage cover on. My cover is custom made. They didn't make it the way I wanted. So I need to adjust to it.

Yes but you'd have to be careful about the winch.... Plenty of room for a standard one but don't go too big

Hi Tom,I use this on a Suntracker 21 foot pontoon. I still have another foot and a half of depth I can go from where I use it now. It is a non-issue. Sincerely, Paul

I only have it on my 24' Pontoon Boat. I have 2 on it. It is better to be safe than sorry.
