Maxwell HRC101012VLP HRC10 Horizontal Windlass 12V Rope Chain No Capstan

The Maxwell HRC101012VLP HRC10 Horizontal Windlass represents a breakthrough in anchor handling performance for vessels up to 52 feet. This fully automatic rope/chain windlass features a completely above-deck installation system, eliminating the need for below-deck components while delivering professional-grade anchoring control.

Designed to handle 5/8" rope and 3/8" chain, including thick rope-to-chain splices, this 12V windlass combines classic Maxwell styling with cutting-edge engineering. The unit comes without a capstan, providing a streamlined profile for installations where rope handling is managed separately.

Wave Design Chainwheel Technology:

Maxwell's proprietary Wave Design chainwheel incorporates forward-angled outer ribs that smoothly guide rope and chain during retrieval. The opposing inner ribs grip the rope in an undulating wave pattern, providing superior hold compared to traditional jam cleat designs while reducing rope wear and extending rode longevity.

Key Features:

• Two-part watertight case with die-cast marine-grade hard anodized alloy front section and composite motor cover for space-saving above-deck installation
• Simple bolt-down mounting allows quick installation and easy on-deck routine maintenance
• Stainless steel pressure arm maintains maximum control pressure on rope, splice, or chain
• Unique wrap-around horizontal chainwheel design utilizes more than 90° of wheel contact for superior rope and chain handling
• Accommodates wide range of chain pitch differences within specified diameter and works effectively with all-chain rodes
• Integral chain pipe with large through-deck hawse pipe throat ensures smooth rode entry into anchor locker
• Cone-type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual free-fall anchoring and emergency hand-crank recovery
• Sealed oil bath with marine-grade hard anodized alloy gearbox provides high-efficiency drive via precision worm and worm wheel

Specifications:

• Voltage: 12V DC
• Rope Size: 5/8 inch
• Chain Size: 3/8 inch
• Suitable for vessels up to 52 feet (16 meters)
• Configuration: No capstan

This horizontal windlass delivers the reliability and performance Maxwell is known for, with innovative design features that set it apart from competitive anchor handling systems.
