No. TUFF winches run efficiently from your boat's main battery or a dual-battery setup. Either works, as long as the unit is correctly wired and installed.

Not as standard. Free fall sacrifices the integrity of the unit, so it isn't standard on our drum winches, but we can supply a custom solution if you need it.

Australia wide, including WA. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your address.

The TUFF Winch range offers seven models for boats from 3.5 m to 15 m.

Each model includes a recommended boat length, but this is a guide only. The best size depends on your boat’s weight, anchor type, rope/chain needs, and space in the anchor locker. We recommend choosing the largest capacity that fits for added safety and versatility, especially in deeper water or rough conditions.

For recreational boats, a compact model often suffices; small commercial vessels may need a larger winch for heavier loads and frequent use.

Absolutely, TUFF WINCH is designed to withstand the harsh Australian weather environment including the saltwater, it's important to choose a Winch that you know sources quality-grade materials that is designed to hold up when out at sea. We strictly use Marine-grade 316 stainless steel for all steel components including the winch drum, shaft and bearing caps. 

316 stainless steel contains 2-3% molybdenum, which greatly improves resistance to saltwater corrosion compared to 304 grade. It stays strong under stress and wear, giving long-lasting performance at sea. Choosing a supplier like us ensures you get genuine marine-grade materials for lower maintenance and greater reliability.

Self-installation is straightforward with proper preparation, and every TUFF Winch kit includes all necessary components for a complete setup.

However, if you prefer confidence in performance and safety, we recommend professional installation by a qualified marine mechanic or electrician. This ensures correct wiring, secure mounting, and optimal operation from the start.
