Maxwell RC8-8 12V Windlass - for up to 5/16" Chain, 9/16" Rope
The RC8 rope/chain windlass is the product of over 30 years of engineering refinements and is the third generation of Maxwell windlass in this size with some of the best performance and longevity figures on the market. The tried a true RC8 can be used with 8mm (5/16″) chain spliced to 14mm 8-plait nylon rope. The patented Wave Design™ rope/chain gypsy (chainwheel) is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences (both imperial and metric) within the RC8’s specified chain size diameters. 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.
