Product Details

Everything you need to anchor — nothing you don't.

The Anchor Ready Kit pairs the TUFF-180 Drum Anchor Winch with a Double Braid Nylon Rope and Galvanised Chain kit matched exactly to its drum: 40m of 6mm Double Braid Nylon Rope + 6m of 6mm Galvanised Chain (Matched to this Winch's Drum). No sizing, no guessing, no buying rope and chain separately and hoping it fits.

Built for DIYers and upgraders

This tier exists for boaters doing their own electrical install, upgrading an older or worn-out rope and chain setup, or who already have a deck roller sorted. You get the winch and matched rope ready to go, without paying for a wiring loom or roller you don't need.

Same TUFF winch, same warranty

The TUFF-180 Drum Anchor Winch features a 180mm Drum Diameter, Italian 800w IP66 epoxy-coated 4 brush motor, and a 2000kg Holding Capacity — built for boats up to 5.5m. Every TUFF winch is hand-built in Australia and backed by our 5-year warranty, direct with us, not a third party.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery setup do I need?

Our winches run off your main battery supply or a dual setup, so it has versatile suitability to whatever battery arrangement you prefer.

Why are your motors black not stainless?

That's an intentional choice, we utilise an oversized epoxy-coated 4 brush motor on every drum winch for true efficiency and a longer lifespan. Others use aluminium sleeves which put your motor at risk of water ingress or corrosion over time.

Do you offer free fall?

We don't have a free fall feature as standard with our winches are it sacrifices the structural integrity of the unit. They are driven up-down with switches and are very quick however we can customise your winch for this feature if you wish upon request.

How do I activate the warranty?

Your 5 year warranty begins after purchase and you can be rest assured that we backup our warranties in-house with large quantities of any and all components you may need down the track.

Are they easy to install?

Our drum winches are very easy to self install. They can be integrated with any new setup or current setup you may have and both our full kits and standalone units include the core electrical components to get you started. Following along our installation sheet is simple and we have a contact number for you to get support at anytime during installation if you run into any issues.
