Maxwell RC8-6 Series Windlass
Dual direction solenoid pack
Circuit breaker / isolator panel
Up/down remote control panel
Emergency crank / clutch release handle

Features:

Maxwell RC8-6 Series Windlasses are fully automatic rope/chain anchor winches
The RC8-6CAP12V can be used with 1/4" (6 mm) chain spliced to 1/2" (12 mm) three strand or 8-plait rope
The revolutionary and patented, 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
Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, free fall anchoring
Sealed oil bath and marine grade hard anodized, alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and worm wheel

Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper or snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while lying at anchor. The chainstopper and alternative snubbing system should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
