Maxwell HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass - 12V, 3/8 inch Chain & 5/8 inch Rope

HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass - 12V Capstan 3/8" Chain, 5/8" Rope

Maxwell's HRC10 represents yet another breakthrough in performance and anchor handling excellence. The horizontal, fully automatic rope/chain windlasses has been designed to meet the demands for use on larger vessels up to 16 meters (52'), which require a completely above deck installation system.

The HRC10 handles 5/8" rope and 3/8" chain, including the thick rope to chain splice. The modern appearance of the HRC10 retains the classic good looks of previous Maxwell horizontal windlasses, while incorporating design features years ahead of its competitors.

The HRC10 windlass is fitted with Maxwell's unique Wave Design chainwheel. The 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.

Features:

• Aesthetically pleasing above deck design, evolved from the philosophy of form follows function, encapsulates the motor and drive in a two part watertight case, saving space below deck
  
• 2-part case consists of a die cast, marine-grade hard anodised alloy front section and a rugged and easily removable composite motor cover aft section
  
• 2-piece watertight case allows for quick and easy, on-deck, routine maintenance
  
• Simple "bolt down" installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set up
  
• Stainless steel pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain)
  
• 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 HRC10
  
• Unique Maxwell "wrap around" horizontal chainwheel ensures that more than 90 of the wheel is used, allowing greatly improved rope and chain handling compared with competitor designs
  
• Works just as effectively with all-chain rodes for those who desire the added security and holding power of an all-chain anchor system
  
• The integral chain pipe and huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker
  
• Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, "free fall" anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor if required
  
• The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard anodised, alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel

The Maxwell HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass is engineered for reliable anchor handling on boats up to 52 feet. Featuring a fully automatic, above-deck design, this windlass simplifies installation and operation, making it ideal for larger vessels. Its modern aesthetic combines form and function, housing the motor and drive within a two-part watertight case that saves space below deck. The durable die-cast, marine-grade alloy front section and removable composite motor cover ensure longevity and ease of maintenance. Installation is straightforward with a bolt-down setup, allowing quick deployment and adjustment. The HRC10's stainless steel pressure arm exerts consistent control over the rode, whether it is rope, splice, or chain, ensuring secure anchoring every time. The innovative Wave Design chainwheel enhances handling by guiding the rope and chain smoothly into the windlass, reducing wear and increasing the lifespan of your rode. Its undulating grip pattern securely holds the rode, even under heavy load, providing a significant improvement over traditional systems. The chainwheel's capacity to accommodate various pitch differences within the specified chain size makes it versatile for different anchor rode configurations. Designed to work effectively with both chain and all-chain rodes, the HRC10 offers added security and holding power for demanding marine environments. The integral chain pipe and through-deck hawse pipe facilitate easy rode entry and exit, streamlining anchoring operations. Additionally, the cone clutch/brake mechanism allows manual free fall anchoring and emergency recovery, providing safety and control at all times. Powered by a sealed oil bath and marine-grade anodized alloy gearbox with precision worm gear drive, this windlass delivers high efficiency and durability for consistent performance in marine conditions. Whether for recreational or commercial vessels, the Maxwell HRC10 windlass combines advanced features with robust construction to enhance your anchoring system's reliability and ease of use.
