Features
- The revolutionary, and patented, new 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 RC6
- Providing most of the features of the larger RC8, the RC6 has been designed with the smaller, trailer boat market in mind
- The in-line, vertical gearbox and motor means quick and easy installation by either the boat yard or the DIY aftermarket customer
- An inexpensive, high performance and great looking windlass: the RC6 is built for durability and years of trouble free use
All RC Series windlasses are fitted with Maxwell's unique Wave Design™ chainwheel
- 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 chainwheel 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
- Not only does this Wave Design™ hold the rope more securely, it is also kinder on the rope resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode
- Wave Design™ Chainwheel Is fitted to all RC Series windlasses, designed for anchor rodes with any marine grade chain, G4, BBB, Proof Coil and Metric
