Camco Pontoon Anchor Winch TRAC 35-G3 — 12V High-Efficiency Steel Gear Motor & 100-ft Rope

The Camco TRAC Outdoors Pontoon 35-G3 is an electric anchor winch that raises and lowers up to a 35 lb anchor smoothly using a high-efficiency 12V all-steel gear motor and 100 feet of pre-wound double-braid rope.

Designed for pontoon and small recreational boats, this compact winch replaces hand-cranking with push-button control for quicker, safer anchoring. It combines a durable steel-gear motor that conserves battery power with clearly organized installation hardware and a sealed membrane UP/DOWN switch. The kit arrives pre-wound with 100 feet of 3/16-inch double-braid rope and includes either a separate or integrated anchor roller, making setup straightforward for DIYers and marine technicians alike.

How does the TRAC Pontoon 35-G3 simplify anchoring on a pontoon?

One-button UP and DOWN controls replace manual hauling, so you spend less time fighting rope and more time on the water. The auto-capable winch monitors line movement and delivers consistent pull for smooth retrieval under load.

• Sealed membrane UP/DOWN switch for reliable marine use
• Push-button operation reduces physical effort and time
• Consistent holding power for smoother retrieval under tension

Will this winch drain my boat battery quickly?

The winch uses a high-efficiency, 12-volt DC all-steel gear motor engineered to use less current than many competitors, helping preserve battery life during repeated anchoring. For extended use, pairing with a dedicated marine battery or isolator is recommended.

• High-efficiency motor minimizes power draw
• Includes marine-grade battery wire for optimal connectivity
• Use with a dedicated battery or isolator for long anchoring sessions

What comes in the box and what extra parts might I need?

The package is ready to install: 100 feet of 3/16-inch pre-wound double-braid anchor rope, circuit breaker, sealed switch, battery wire, assembly hardware, instructions, and an option for separate or integrated anchor roller. You will need the anchor itself and basic boat installation tools; some installations may require additional mounting brackets or sealant for your deck style.

• Included: 100-ft double-braid rope, circuit breaker, switch, battery wire
• Anchor not included — choose compatible 35 lb or lighter anchor
• May require deck screws, sealant, or mounting adapter depending on boat

How durable and serviceable is the winch on saltwater and freshwater boats?

The all-steel gear motor and marine-grade wiring offer robust performance for everyday recreational use; however, regular rinsing and periodic inspection are recommended for longer life on saltwater vessels. The product includes a limited one-year warranty and clear assembly instructions to aid maintenance and troubleshooting.

• All-steel gearing built for reliable, everyday use
• Marine-grade battery wire reduces corrosion-related issues
• Follow routine rinsing and inspection for saltwater longevity
