Same as yours at least 8yrs, only changed out the aluminum block on shaft due to splitting from corrosion

Had an ace for along time ran great the whole time probably 8-10 years still runs great but it sits in the shop now you wouldn’t regret going this route they are not even comparable to an aceAll of the sport pullers are garbage.....pretty much toys.
If you want to stay electric go with one of these...

Why don't any of them have an auto feed thing like the Ace? I can't go back to gently feeding the line into bucket again!!! Man they look fast though. I'm guessing you'd have to run your engine while using these things? I can't even imagine the draw on the batteries.All of the sport pullers are garbage.....pretty much toys.

EZ Puller and Electra-Dyne both have hands free. Electra Dyne gets the best reviews, but it is a big unit.
EZ Puller and the Safe-T / My-T puller above are available with a Scotty mount.

The electradyne is definitely the best electric puller on the market. However it will flip a 20 foot boat. Really it's a commercial solution for an electric puller. I can see spending the money for the proper boat. Wicked equipment
The discovery bay hauler is pretty tough unit. That one will not stop and is completely hands free. For the sport guys I don't know what else you would want for 2 grand. Electra you would be double that by the time your done

Just look at the guy hauling line because of the reverse engineering there.

Check out ez-puller. They make one that will fit on a Scotty base. https://www.ezpullerinc.com/store/EZ-E40D-p260680110. We installed the 2.5hp davit this year and an ace puller is a toy compared to that. Your wiring will need an upgrade to handle the amps.

I haven't had any issues with my Ace line hauler either over the last 5 years. Recently upgrded to the new faster motor too.
Use 2 traps per line plus a 10 pound cannon ball.
Heavy wire (10GA?), short runs, and always keep one engine running while pulling to maximize current and voltage.
