RC8 Rope/Chain Windlass
Maxwell’s all-new RC series windlasses follow in the highly successful footsteps of the Freedom, Liberty and HRC fully automatic rope/chain anchor winches. The RC8’s unique spacer tube design allows installation through virtually any deck thickness and the multiple mounting positions and its self-aligning gearbox ensure optimal location of gearbox and motor in virtually all installation situations.
Full disassembly capability of topworks using handle provided, a screwdriver 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 preloaded 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. Cone-type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, free fall anchoring. Manual override using the emergency crank handle provided. Sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard-anodized alloy gearbox provides high-efficiency output drive via precision worm and worm wheel.
