Maxwell Windlass RC8-8 Capstan 1000W
Key innovations that matter in real-world use
- Wave Design chainwheel: Maxwell’s patented wheel concept features outer ribs angled forward to guide rope and chain smoothly into the drum, while the inner ribs grip in a dynamic wave pattern. This reduces rope slippage, minimizes wear, and delivers gentler handling during retrieval—extending the life of your rode.
- 1000W power with robust control: A reversing heavy-duty solenoid paired with a dependable Up/Down panel control switch gives you precise, intuitive control for deploying and weighing anchor, even in challenging conditions.
- Heavy-duty protection: A 135 Amp circuit breaker/isolator protects the system from electrical surges and ensures quick, safe disconnection when needed.
- Capstan + low-profile design: The RC8-8 Capstan variant provides a top-mounted capstan for controlled rope payout in tight bow pockets, while the low-profile form helps preserve deck and foredeck space without compromising power.
- Rode versatility: Engineered to handle an 8mm chain paired with 14mm 8-braid rope, and compatible with a wide range of chain types including G4, BBB, Proof Coil, and Metric, giving you flexible installation options for your preferred rode.
- Comprehensive automation: Fully automatic rope/chain windlass means less manual handling, more secure anchor set, and faster anchoring in variable conditions.
