Features

The RC8 Series is manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for long term durability

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

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

All RC Series windlasses are fitted with Maxwell's unique Wave Design chain wheel

This patented 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 chain wheel 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
