Camco TRAC Anchor Winches: Fisherman, Angler & Deckboat G3

TRAC electric anchor winches use 12-volt power to retrieve and lower an anchor from the boat's deck. Choosing the right one means checking the total suspended anchor-and-rode weight, how the unit deploys the anchor, and the available mounting space. Camco 69002, 69004 and 69005 are three different TRAC G3 systems, not the same winch with different rope lengths.

Compare included rope and mounting equipment

The 69002 and 69004 catalog listings describe 100 ft of pre-wound double-braid anchor rope and a separate roller/davit. 69004 also includes a wireless remote. Camco 69005 is listed with 100 ft of 3/16-inch pre-wound rope, an anchor roller and a wireless remote. All three listings include a circuit breaker and marine battery wiring. The actual available length below the boat depends on safe operating scope and conditions—not simply the amount of rope stored on the winch.

Installation and replacement checks

1. Identify the original part number. Record the Camco 69002, 69004 or 69005 number and the model marked on the installed TRAC unit. A similar enclosure does not establish matching motor or control parts.
2. Calculate the total suspended load. Weigh or accurately identify the anchor, chain, rope and connectors. Do not select a winch solely because its rated load is close to the anchor's bare weight.
3. Check the bow arrangement. Compare the winch footprint, anchor roller location, hatch clearance, bow overhang and the deployment path. Follow the exact manufacturer's installation drawing before drilling.
4. Check the 12V electrical system. Confirm wire length and gauge, battery condition, circuit breaker, switching and dry mounting location against the unit's instructions. Do not use a 120V supply.
5. Confirm the desired deployment controls. The Fisherman 25 provides powered UP/DOWN operation, while the Angler 30 and Deckboat 40 list AutoDeploy and a wireless remote. Do not assume a wireless control can be retrofitted to every older unit.
6. Plan anchor retrieval and stowage. The anchor must travel safely over the roller and be restrained appropriately. The internal winch clutch is not a substitute for the secure anchoring or stowage hardware required for your vessel.

What if only the rope, switch or roller is damaged?

Not every damaged part calls for replacing the complete winch. First identify the original TRAC model, gearbox version, rope specification and exact failed component. A rope from another model may differ in diameter or capacity, and a wireless remote for one version should not be assumed compatible with another. Use the manufacturer's service parts instructions before replacing controls or modifying wiring.

If you are comparing the anchor itself, the winch and anchor must be selected together according to the boat's anchoring requirements. Use the specified total anchor-and-rode weight rather than assuming that every 25-pound anchor works with a 25-pound winch.
