FEATURES

• The RC12 fully automatic windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 10mm (3/8 ) short link chain and 16mm (5/8 ) to 20mm (3/4 ) three strand or 8-Plait rope (RC12-10) and 12mm/13mm (1/2 ) short link chain and 20mm (3/4 ) three strand or 8-Plait rope (RC12-12).
• With a maximum pull of 1590 kg (3500 lb), and an anchor retrieval rate of 15m/min (50ft/min), the RC12-12 is one of the fastest and gruntiest windlasses in its class.
• A sleek, Low Profile version and a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version, are available.
• The all new RC12 is packed with patented innovative features combined with Maxwell s traditionally classic aesthetics, but reflecting the modern form follows function of the highly successful RC6, RC8 and RC10 series windlasses.
• The elegantly designed deckplate and chainpipe cover are manufactured in polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel, as are the heavy duty pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel and fluted capstan drum.
• The huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.
• Double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits Free Fall anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement, ensuring safe and precise operator control.
• The RC12 features Maxwell s revolutionary and patented new Wave Design chainwheel. Refer to RC6 page for more information about this innovative feature.
• Emergency manual retrieval is made simple and easy with Maxwell s unique Active Latch Ratchet System operation that prevents backwind of the windlass during manual hauling of the anchor.
• The Maxwell-designed, all new and innovative black, hard anodised gearbox provides numerous advantages: - Fast and easy windlass installation - More corrosion resistant - Easy to maintain and service - Takes up less room in the anchor locker - 75:1 Ratio (RC12-10) or 100:1 Ratio (RC12-12), single stage design with less moving parts, for smoother and quieter operation - Allows for multi-positioning of the gearbox/motor.
