Product Details
RC12 Series 2500 lb Gypsy/Drum Vertical Line/Chain Windlass by Maxwell®. The RC12 fully automatic windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 10mm (3/8") short link chain and 16mm (5/8") to 20mm (3/4") three strand or 8-Plait rope. The RC12 is packed with innovative features combined with Maxwell's traditionally classic aesthetics. The elegantly designed deckplate and chainpipe cover are manufactured in polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel, as are the heavy duty pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel and fluted capstan drum. The huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker. Double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits Free Fall anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement, ensuring safe and precise operator control. The RC12 features Maxwell's revolutionary and Wave Design™ chainwheel. Emergency manual retrieval is made simple and easy with Maxwell's unique Active Latch Ratchet System operation that prevents backwind of the windlass during manual hauling of the anchor.
