Drum Winches for Small Boats or shallow or narrow anchor wells.

⚓ Drum Winches – Perfect for Small Boats and Shallow Anchor Wells

Discover our premium range of Drum Winches, explicitly designed for small boats and shallow or narrow anchor wells. If your boat has a compact anchor locker or lacks the fall required to install a traditional windlass, a drum boat winch is the ideal solution.

Our Drum Winches make anchoring smooth, reliable, and efficient — even in tight spaces. These winches are compact, easy to install, and perfectly suited to smaller vessels, making them a favourite among boaties who need innovative solutions for limited space.

We stock Freefall models, giving you faster anchor deployment when it matters most. Choose from trusted brands like Maxtex and Maxwell, renowned for their durability and performance in New Zealand marine conditions.

Popular options include:

  • Maxwell Drum Winch – trusted performance and easy operation.
  • Maxwell Tasman 8 Drum Winch – designed for reliability in tough marine environments.
  • Vetus Maxwell Drum Winch – combining innovative design with top-tier engineering.

Whether you’re looking for a Maxwell drum winch NZ, want to compare Maxwell drum winch reviews, or need accessories like rollers, our selection has you covered.

  • Shop our range of Drum Winches today and find the perfect anchoring solution for your small boat.
