E-Z Anchor Puller’s Patriot Series
Published: Thursday, May 28, 2020
According to Jarrett Sanchez, his decision to buy the Patriot EZ-2 was originally driven “99.9% by his wife and family,” but everyone, himself included, now agrees that the easy anchoring solution has definitely lifted a weight off of their shoulders!
Jarrett used to pull up a 22-pound anchor attached to 230 ft. of rope and chain all by himself. Now, after buying the Patriot EZ-2 unit and installing it in the rope locker of his 1977 25’ Mako Center Console, launching and retrieving is done with the push of a button. Jarrett simply holds down the direct drive rocker switch-type button to deploy his anchor to the bottom; then, pushes the other “up side” of the button for about three seconds to ensure his line is nice and tight. When done for the day, retrieving the anchor is as easy as holding the button down until the anchor is safely stowed.
The Patriot series was manufactured with fiberglass fishing boats in mind, and is the perfect selection for fishing trips or family outings in shallow coastal waters. Providing a reliable and easy-to-use solution for anchoring and line storage, the Patriot series is a safe, consistent launch and retrieval system that eliminates the need to physically pull up your rope and chain, and the need to de-tangle and store it later, too!
Mike Chow also got tired of hauling up heavy line and chain. After mounting his Patriot in the bow of his 1995 Bounty Motor Yachts 257 Offshore Pilot during the summer of 2019, Chow said, “The two person task of retrieving the anchor is now simple and single-handed. Best of all, no more straining my arms pulling up the heavy anchor.”
With three sizes in the series, the Patriot is the winch of choice for boaters who own vessels 18-35 feet, and can hold between 175-325 feet of 3/8” line or 150-200 feet of 1/2" line, depending on the preference and needs of the boater. The power-up / power-down direct drive unit gives boaters more control over deployment and retrieval with an average of 100 feet-per-minute, and the unit itself is compact enough to not get in the way on deck if it is mounted on the bow. Manufactured completely from 316 stainless steel and rated IP68 waterproof submersible, the Patriot series is immune to fresh and saltwater environments as well.
No more arm and back injuries, and no more hassle. The E-Z Anchor Puller drum anchor winch provides years of dependability and safety. Models are available for vessels 18-55 feet.
