Maxwell RC12/10 Capstan Windlass - 24V - 3/8" Chain  3/4" Rope [RC1210CAP24V]

Ships Direct From Manufacturer

RC12/10 Capstan Windlass - 24V - 3/8" Chain & 3/4" Rope

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 RC12 is packed with 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 Wave Design™ chainwheel.

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 and innovative black, hard anodized 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.

Every Maxwell automatic rope/chain windlass comes complete with all the necessary components for fully automatic dual direction control in a competitively priced package.

Maxwell HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass - 12V No Capstan 3/8" Chain, 5/8" Rope [HRC101012VLP]

Ships Direct From Manufacturer

HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass - 12V No Capstan 3/8" Chain, 5/8" Rope

Maxwell's HRC10 represents yet another breakthrough in performance and anchor handling excellence. The horizontal, fully automatic rope/chain windlass has been designed to meet the demands for use on larger vessels up to 16 meters (52'), which require a completely above deck installation system.

The HRC10 handles 5/8" rope and 3/8" chain, including the thick rope to chain splice. The modern appearance of the HRC10 retains the classic good looks of previous Maxwell horizontal windlasses, while incorporating design features years ahead of its competitors.

The HRC10 windlass is fitted with Maxwell's unique Wave Design™ chainwheel. The 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.

As the rope pulls into the wheel, the opposite facing inner ribs grip the rope in an undulating manner, securing the rope more firmly in a 'wave pattern' action that is far superior to the traditional 'jam cleat' manner of holding the rope. Not only does this Wave Design™ hold the rope more securely, it is also kinder on the rope resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode.

Features:

• Aesthetically pleasing above deck design, evolved from the philosophy of form follows function, encapsulates the motor and drive in a two part watertight case, saving space below deck
  
• 2-part case consists of a die cast, marine-grade hard anodised alloy front section and a rugged and easily removable composite motor cover aft section
  
• 2-piece watertight case allows for quick and easy, on-deck, routine maintenance
  
• Simple "bolt down" installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set up
  
• Stainless steel pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain)
  
• Wave Design™ chainwheel is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences, within the specified chain size diameters
  
• Unique Maxwell "wrap around"™ horizontal chainwheel ensures that more than 90° of the wheel is used, allowing greatly improved rope and chain handling compared with competitor designs
  
• The HRC10 works just as effectively with all-chain rodes for those who desire the added security and holding power of an all-chain anchor system
  
• The integral chain pipe and huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker
  
• Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, "free fall"™ anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor if required
  =
• The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard anodised, alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel
