Maxwell RC6 - Vertical Anchor Winch/Windlass - 500W / 24 Volt Motor

Suits 6-7mm SL Chain and 12mm Nylon Rope

Suits Most Boats up to 8.5 Metres (29 feet)

The Maxwell RC-6 24 Volt Vertical Anchor Winch/Windlass has a 500 Watt motor and is suitable for most boats up to 8.5 metres (29 feet) LOA.

It is ideal for 6mm and 7mm short link  chain and also 12mm nylon rope and most importantly, it changes easily from one to another.

Maxwell leads the market in innovative thinking with the introduction of their latest Wave Design™ chain wheel. Incorporating 2 new unique design concepts, the Wave Design greatly improves the handling and control of the rope and 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. This method of rope clamping is far superior to the traditional 'jam cleat' manner of holding the rope compared to all other products on the market. Not only does this Maxwell Wave Design™ hold the rope more securely, it is also kinder on the rope resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode.

Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper and/or alternative snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while laying at anchor. The chain stopper and alternative snubbing system should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
