Experiencing Alaska’s bounty sometimes requires off-road vehicles such as an ATV, side-by-side, or a boat. Here are our current favorite boats, off-road vehicles, and accessories.

E-Z Anchor Puller’s long-range wireless remote comes with two key fobs and a wireless receiver unit that will be connected to your E-Z Anchor Puller anchor winch’s solenoid. Now with 12-volt and 24-volt options, the long-range remote is designed for boaters who need to control their unit away from the helm. Operate the Rebel free-fall series by holding the deployment “Down” button for only two seconds, then retrieve the anchor rode by holding in the “Up” button for the entirety of retrieval. Instruction manuals are available online under the support tab.
