TUFF-240 High Capacity Drum Anchor Winch
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-240 High Capacity 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-240 High Capacity
Maximum Rope Capacity Without the Extra Weight
The TUFF-240 High Capacity features a 300mm drum that holds 100 meters of 8mm double braid rope, 10 meters more than the standard TUFF-240. This extra capacity is critical for boaters who anchor in varying depths, deal with tidal ranges, or need proper scope in deeper waters. You get the rope capacity of a much larger winch without the weight, bulk, or installation challenges. Perfect for vessels up to 8 meters where deep water anchoring and flexibility matter most.
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 100m of 8mm double braid nylon rope plus 8m of galvanized chain, with a holding capacity of 3000 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 1500W 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 the toughest anchoring conditions Australia can throw at it.
Install Once, Anchor Anywhere
16 mounting positions mean you can position the TUFF-240 High Capacity exactly where you need it. The complete rounded transmission design makes installation straightforward. 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-240 High Capacity 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-240 High Capacity. 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 anchoring.
Stop Wrestling With Your Anchor. Start Enjoying Your Boat.
The TUFF-240 High Capacity 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 cruising deep coastal waters or running a charter operation where rope capacity can't be compromised, you deserve an anchoring system that works as hard as you do without making you work hard at all.
