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

The HRC10 Horizontal Rope Chain Windlass by Maxwell is engineered for superior performance and reliable anchor handling on larger vessels up to 52 feet. This fully automatic windlass is designed for above-deck installation, offering seamless integration and exceptional durability for your marine adventures.

Advanced Design and Construction

The HRC10 combines a modern aesthetic with robust engineering, maintaining the classic appearance of Maxwell’s horizontal windlasses while incorporating innovative features that set it apart from competitors. Its two-part watertight case efficiently houses the motor and drive system, conserving valuable space below deck and ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments.

Wave Design™ Chainwheel Technology

Maxwell's exclusive Wave Design™ chainwheel revolutionizes rope and chain management. The chainwheel’s outer ribs are angled forward to guide the rope and chain smoothly during anchor retrieval. Simultaneously, the inner ribs grip the rope in a unique wave pattern, providing a secure hold that outperforms traditional jam cleats. This design not only enhances control but also reduces wear on your anchor rode, extending its lifespan.

Key Features

• Aesthetic and Functional Design: Elegantly designed for above-deck installation, the HRC10 features a die-cast, marine-grade hard anodised alloy front section and a rugged, removable composite motor cover, optimizing both appearance and functionality.
• Easy Maintenance: The two-piece watertight case allows for quick and straightforward on-deck maintenance, minimizing downtime and ensuring your windlass remains in top condition.
• Effortless Installation: With a simple "bolt down" setup, the HRC10 enables rapid on-deck installation, making it an ideal choice for seamless integration into your vessel’s setup.
• Optimal Control Pressure: The stainless steel pressure arm consistently exerts maximum control pressure on the rode, whether using rope, splice, or chain, ensuring reliable anchor handling.
• Versatile Chainwheel Compatibility: The Wave Design™ chainwheel accommodates a wide range of chain pitch differences within specified diameters, providing flexibility for various anchoring systems.
• Maxwell "Wrap Around"™ Technology: Utilizing more than 90° of the wheel, this unique horizontal chainwheel enhances rope and chain handling capabilities beyond those of competing designs.
• All-Chain Rode Compatibility: Perfectly compatible with all-chain rodes, offering enhanced security and holding power for those who prefer an all-chain anchor system.
• Integrated Chain and Hawse Pipes: The integral chain pipe and large through-deck hawse pipe throat facilitate easy entry and exit of the rope/chain rode, streamlining your anchoring process.
• Safety Features: Equipped with a cone-type clutch/brake mechanism, the HRC10 allows for manual "free fall"™ anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor when necessary.
• Durable Gearbox: The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard anodised alloy gearbox deliver high-efficiency output drive through precision worm and wormwheel components, ensuring reliable performance in marine conditions.
