Maxwell's all new RC series windlasses proudly follow in the highly successful footsteps of the Freedom, Liberty and HRC fully automatic rope/chain anchor winches.
• The larger RC8-6 can be used with 6mm (1/4") chain spliced to 12mm (1/2") three strand or 8-plait rope.
• The revolutionary, and patented, new 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 RC8 Series.
• Sleek, low profile and MAX-grip™ capstan drum versions are available to suit individual user preference.
• 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
• Full disassembly capability of top works utilizing handle provided, a screw driver and an Allen key.
• The RC8 Series is manufactured from marine grade 316 stainless steel for long term durability.
• 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.
• The RC8 works just as effectively with all-chain rodes for those who desire a low profile, elegantly styled windlass on their foredeck.
• Huge through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.
