Electric pot haulers

[gcs]

Never had, or used one, but the haulers I was born with are about wore out.
I see Kellar and Electradyne in Mass. has them new. Any advice, information, or suggestions on brand, H.P., ratios, or general usage would be appreciated. 
I would mostly use this for single conch pots, in relatively shallow water (max about 12'). 
Thanks.

Two good batteries on the boat.

I run the Electradyne 10" hydraulic but can't remember the ratio and it's set up with a 12v electric motor running the pump.  This is the 2nd one I've owned/operated with the 1st being identical setup except it was an 8" model.  No complaints here on either unit as they both work great and sure saves a lot of work.  The biggest thing I can reccomend is get something that will hold up for commercial use.  Good luck to you.

Electradyne 20:1  3/4 hp motor will do.  That's what I have.  Fish up to 16' of water with 25' of rope.

My cost $1350.00

My Father inlaw sells Sea Gear Haulers..........The 1hp is $1,200 plus shipping...Not sure about the gear reduction,I'll check it later to day.. But it's the fastest I've used,of the 12 volt electric pullers..Comes in it's own box ready to mount on your washboard...

Thanks for the info so far...so, the next question, washboard mount or davit?

I fish a tiller outboard skiff and haul from the stern quarter, right side,... trying to imagine a washboard mount there that won't be in the way in that limited space.
A davit system would seem to have less lifting and is out of the way a little more. Your experience is very helpful and I appreciate it.  Thanks again.

The sea Gear is design to be mounted on the washboard.A davvit rig for conching would probably work better..But washboard mounting for Crabbing is Faster.

I agree with gene however I like and run a davit as it helps me keep my gear from beating the side of my boat up.  Thats is the only advantage I can see.
