Maxwell RC10 Vertical Windlass

Maxwell Marine RC10 Vertical Windlass

The all new stainless steel RC10 fully automatic rope/chain windlass is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 8mm (5/16”) chain and 10mm (3/8") short link chain and 14mm and 16mm (5/8") three strand or 8-brait (plait) rope. The ingeniously designed rope/chain gypsy (chainwheel) is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences within the specified chain size diameters. The RC10 is manufacturered from marine-grade 316 stainless steel and chromed bronze for long term durability.

Simple two piece installation saves time and money and allows easy retrofitting without disassembly of the windlass. Unique spacer tube design allows installation through virtually any deck thickness and the multiple mounting positions and self aligning gearbox ensure optimal location of gearbox and motor in virtually all installation situations.

The heavy duty stainless steel pressure arm is designed to effectively help grasp the rope/chain splice, giving the RC8 an unparalleled level of performance. In combination with a heavy duty, large wire diameter, stainless steel pre-loaded spring, the pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure. In combination with a heavy duty, large wire diameter, stainless steel pre-loaded spring, the pressure arm pivots on a trouble free bearing, thereby exerting maximum control pressure on the rode and splice.

Wave Design™ Chainwheel

The new and revolutionary patented Wave Design™ chainwheel is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences, within the specified chain size diameters, suitable for use with the RC10 Series. This patented rope/chain wheel incorporates two unique design concepts that greatly improve the handling and control of the rope/chain spliced rode. The outer ribs of the chainwheel are angled slightly forward, ensuring that the rope and the chain are smoothly guided in the wheel during anchor retrieval.
