For what it's worth --- we just got a Fortress this year for our 26' Bowrider !
Admittedly - a tad expensive ($139), but has been working like a chap all season. My wife (windlass) loves it too because it is so light.
One trick I will share, as it is so light, it tends to "flutter" to the bottom (yes, even with the chain) as opposed to our older heavy style which sank immediately. You need to give it a minute or two to get down, then start your reversing motion.
