Maxwell RC8 12V Windlass - 1000W 5/16 Chain to 5/8 Rope

Introducing the Maxwell RC8 12V Windlass - the ultimate solution for effortless retrieval and deployment of your anchor. With its powerful 1000W motor and robust construction, this windlass is designed to handle the toughest conditions. The RC8-6 model is compatible with 6mm/7mm (1/4) chain spliced to 12mm (1/2) three strand or 8-plait rope, while the larger RC8-8 is suitable for 8mm (5/16) chain spliced to 14mm (9/16) three strand or 8-plait rope. The ingeniously designed rope/chain gypsy (chainwheel) can accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences within the specified chain size diameters. With its sleek and low-profile design, the RC8 adds an elegant touch to your boat's foredeck.

The MAX-grip capstan drum version is also available for those who prefer a different style. Installation is a breeze with the simple two-piece design, allowing for easy retrofitting without the need for disassembly. The unique spacer tube design enables installation through virtually any deck thickness, and the multiple mounting positions and self-aligning gearbox ensure optimal location of the gearbox and motor in any installation situation. In case of any maintenance or repairs, the top works can be fully disassembled using the provided handle, screwdriver, and Allen key. Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, the RC8 is built to withstand the harsh marine environment and ensure long-term durability.

The heavy-duty stainless steel pressure arm effectively grasps the rope/chain splice, providing unparalleled performance. Additionally, the large wire diameter, stainless steel pre-loaded spring ensures maximum control pressure. For those who prefer an all-chain rode setup, the RC8 works just as effectively, providing reliable anchoring every time. The windlass features a large through-deck hawse pipe throat, allowing for easy entry and exit of the rope/chain rode into the anchor locker. With its cone type clutch/brake mechanism, the RC8 allows for manual, free-fall anchoring when desired.

In case of any power failure, the windlass can be manually operated using the emergency crank handle provided. Choose the Maxwell RC8 12V Windlass for its superior performance, durability, and easy installation. Enhance your boating experience with the confidence and convenience of a reliable anchor windlass.
