I would go with a new steering wheel. Since we bought our To on I've gotten rid of as much of the plastic crap that it was built with........next to go is that hideous wheel! :mrgreen: :|

I agree... I am not an anchor winch guy but I only operate my boat. I would say wheel or electronic stuff or adds.

I'd do the winch and get the second CC remote switch for the dash. Think it was 36 dollars on e bay. Leaving in a few minuets for Mongomery Al so had to cut the pontoons short yesterday but used the winch for the first time and I had my doubts but she did fine.
One thing I notices yesterday was everyone was wanting us to come over and join their party. I think the winch will be seeing a lot of use on ours.
My vote,, the winch..

Did find a new use for the trolling motor yesterday. Privet club I belong to is at the back of a creek. Tight up there. Had the GF drop the trolling motor and I have a remote switches for the copilot . Talk about something cool spinning the pontoon around like it had two motors in that small space. Now that was fun.. LOL

I'm using the map chip and do enjoy the upgraded steering wheel. I'm not setting anchor in deep water so a winch would not be useful to me.

Steering wheel. Electric anchor winches ..not so much. Our lake is a Corps lake . Lot of crap buried and have had too many instances of getting snagged and was a hassle getting it lose. But hey,that's just me...
