Can this be mounted under a pontoon boat deck? I have no room to mount on top.

No, It is not resistant to the impact of waves. Check out the PTR 350 that is designed to go between pontoons. However, it is $1000.00 + item.

What is the distance from back of unit to front of

17 inches fully extended when in use. rop guide bracket mount slides in on top the motor housing bracket base too mount as one unit. You can mount motor and rop guide bracket separately distance up too the installer

What's the difference between the Deckhand 40 and the pontoon Deckhand?

Mine is mounted on the bow of my boat, but it can be mounted on a pontoon boat also. I had to modify the bow of my alumacraft 12 footer to fit the base plate of the Minnkota anchor assembly. It was fairly easy to modify. I used 8 gauge insulated wires so it would have enough current to be operated. I sit in the back and operate it. It can be operated from the unit too. I also have Minnesota 55 lb thrust electric motor hooked up to the same deep cycle marine battery. I think these two anchor systems look the same. You can always call Minnkota. Mine takes a minimum weight anchor of 25 pounds. Anything lighter won't work. Maximum anchor weight is 40 pounds.
