• This two 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.
• The stainless steel pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain).
• The new and revolutionary 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 HRC10 Series.
• The 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.
• High quality Stainless Steel chainwheels
• 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 anodized, alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel.
• Exclusive Maxwell 3 YEAR Limited Warranty

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