TUFF-180 Drum Anchor Winch Full Kit
Anchor Solo. Protect Your Back. Get On With Your Day.
The backbreaking work of manual anchoring keeps too many boaters tied to the dock or dependent on crew. The TUFF-180 ends that. Drop and retrieve your anchor with a wireless remote from up to 20 meters away, or use the rocker switch for instant control at the bow. One person can handle the entire anchoring process in seconds, not minutes of exhausting chain hauling.
Why Australian Boaters Choose the TUFF-180
Compact Enough for Tight Anchor Wells
This is one of Australia's most popular compact drum winches for good reason. The TUFF-180 delivers full-size anchoring power in an ultra-compact design that fits anchor wells where space is limited. Perfect for recreational and light commercial vessels up to 5.5 meters.
Built to Survive Saltwater
Every component is engineered for Australian marine conditions. The 100% Australian-made 316 stainless steel drum (6mm thick with machined beveled edges) won't corrode or fail. Oversized stainless steel bearings and 6061-T6 alloy bearing caps are sealed and built to last. This winch handles up to 45m of 6mm double braid nylon rope plus 6m of galvanized chain, with a holding capacity of 2000 kg.
Italian Power Transmission, No Maintenance Headaches
The oversized anodized worm drive gearbox with stainless steel hub and fixtures is pre-filled with synthetic oil and fully sealed. The IP66-rated 800W 4-brush DC motor is epoxy-coated and designed to get wet. No aluminum sleeves that let water in. This transmission system is marine-graded, oversized, and built to handle anything you throw at it.
Install Once, Anchor Anywhere
16 mounting positions mean you can position the TUFF-180 exactly where you need it. The complete rounded transmission design makes installation straightforward in tight spaces. Australian-made wiring looms come ready to connect straight out of the box: tinned marine-grade oxygen-free cable, tinned copper lugs, and epoxy-filled heat shrink. No cutting, crimping, or hours of frustration. Connect to your main battery or dual-battery setup and you're ready to go.
5-Year Warranty Guarantee
We hand-build every TUFF-180 in Queensland and back it with a 5-year in-house warranty. Over 10,000 Australian boaters trust TUFF WINCH for their anchoring systems, and for good reason.
Everything You Need in One Complete Kit
We've put together this full kit because we know how frustrating it is to buy a winch only to discover you need another dozen parts before you can use it. You end up spending hours tracking down the right rope, chain, switches, breakers, and mounting hardware from multiple suppliers. Then you're stuck figuring out which wiring gauge you need and how to crimp marine-grade connectors properly.
This kit eliminates all of that. Every component is specifically selected and professionally assembled to work together as a complete drum winch system. The wiring is already crimped and ready to install. The base plate is custom-made for the TUFF-180. The rope and chain are pre-attached with a galvanized shackle. You get clear installation diagrams that show you exactly how everything connects.
One order. One delivery. One afternoon to install. Then you're out on the water and anchoring with ease.
Stop Wrestling With Your Anchor. Start Enjoying Your Boat.
The TUFF-180 gives you the freedom to boat solo, anchor with precision from the helm, and avoid the strain that ruins your back and shoulders. Whether you're an early-morning fisherman or a weekend cruiser, you deserve an anchoring system that works as hard as you do without making you work hard at all.
