The Maxwell RC12/10 12V Windlass stands out as a powerful and efficient solution for boat anchor handling.

With a robust maximum pull of 1590 kg (3500 lb) and an impressive anchor retrieval rate of 15m/min (50ft/min), the RC12-12 stands out as one of the fastest and most powerful windlasses in its class.

The RC12 series encompasses Maxwell's signature innovations, blending classic aesthetics with modern functionality inherited from the successful RC6, RC8, and RC10 series. The deck plate and chain pipe cover exhibit elegant craftsmanship in polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel, as seen in the heavy-duty pressure arm, stripper, chain wheel, and fluted capstan drum.

The deck hawse pipe throat, designed for smooth rope/chain rode entry and exit from the anchor locker, facilitates hassle-free operation. The double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism enables Free Fall anchoring, ensuring safe and precise control during deployment. Notably, the Maxwell-designed Wave Design™ chainwheel enhances performance.

Maxwell's innovative black, hard-anodized gearbox brings numerous advantages, including fast installation, enhanced corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and space-efficient design within the anchor locker. With a 75:1 Ratio (RC12-10) or 100:1 Ratio (RC12-12), the single-stage design with fewer moving parts guarantees smoother and quieter operation. The gearbox/motor's multi-positioning capability adds versatility.

In emergencies, Maxwell's unique Active Latch Ratchet System operation simplifies manual retrieval, preventing windlass backwind during anchor hauling.
