Powerful and Efficient Windlass for Seamless Anchoring

The Maxwell RC10-10 Vertical 12V Windlass is engineered for effortless anchoring, offering a powerful and reliable solution for marine vessels. Constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel and chromed bronze, this windlass delivers long-term durability while maintaining an elegant and sleek appearance on the foredeck. Designed for maximum convenience, the RC10-10 automatically retrieves and deploys 10mm (3/8") chain spliced to 16mm (5/8") three-strand or 8-braid (plait) rope with exceptional efficiency.

With a unique rope/chain gypsy and a heavy-duty stainless steel pressure arm, this windlass ensures a secure grip on the splice between rope and chain, optimizing performance and reliability. The large through-deck hawse pipe throat facilitates smooth passage of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker. A sealed oil bath and a marine-grade hard-anodized alloy gearbox enhance longevity while minimizing maintenance needs.

The RC10-10 is available in a sleek Low Profile version as well as a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version. Its simple two-piece installation saves time and allows for easy retrofitting without requiring disassembly. Additionally, the unique spacer tube design supports installation through virtually any deck thickness, while multiple mounting positions and a self-aligning gearbox enable optimal motor and gearbox placement in various installation configurations.
