RC10 Windlass

MAXWELL MARINE RC10 Vertical Windlass, 12V

The stainless steel RC10 Series rope/chain windlass is part of Maxwell’s upper mid-range line-up. The RC10 is a second-generation rope/chain windlass and is a favorite choice for cruising yachts, launches and pilothouse vessels, and light commercial operators. The intentionally simple design yields excellent longevity and performance figures and has contributed to a well-earned reputation for reliability.

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 RC10’s specified chain size diameters. If you’re running all chain this is not an issue the RC10 works just as effectively with all-chain rode.
