Kit Includes

• Windlass
  
• On/Off Breaker Panel
  
• Reversing Solenoid
  
• Up/down Panel Switch
  
• Clutch Release Handle

Features

• The HRC10-8 is Maxwell's fully automatic rope/ chain or all chain horizontal windlass
  
• Designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 8mm (5/16" ) chain and 16mm (5/8" ) three strand or 8-brait (plait) rope.
  
• The HRC 10-8 has a patented uniquely designed chain wheel will accommodate ANY 5/16" or 8 mm marine grade chain spliced to 5/8" rope.
  
• The 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
  
• Case Material: Anodized Aluminum
  
• The two 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.
  
• This two 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.
  
• The stainless steel pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain).
  
• The new and revolutionary patented 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 Series.
  
• The unique Maxwell " wrap around" horizontal chainwheel ensures that more than 90x of the wheel is used, allowing greatly improved rope and chain handling compared with competitor designs.
  
• High quality Stainless Steel chainwheels
  
• The HRC10 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.
  
• Exclusive Maxwell 3 YEAR Limited Warranty

The Maxwell HRC 10-8 Horizontal Windlass is designed for boats up to 45 feet, providing reliable and efficient anchor retrieval with its fully automatic operation. This model is capable of handling 8mm (5/16 inch) chain and 16mm (5/8 inch) three-strand or 8-braid rope, making it ideal for a variety of marine anchoring needs. The innovative chain wheel, featuring Maxwell's patented Wave Design, accommodates multiple chain pitch variations within the specified size range, ensuring smooth operation and enhanced rope and chain handling. Its robust anodized aluminum case, with a two-part watertight construction, simplifies maintenance and installation while protecting the motor and drive components from harsh marine environments. The design's form follows function, with an aesthetically pleasing profile that maximizes space efficiency on deck, and the bolt-down mounting allows for rapid setup and deployment.

The windlass includes a stainless steel pressure arm that maintains maximum control pressure on the rode, whether rope or chain, and features a cone-type clutch/brake mechanism that permits manual operation, emergency free-fall, or recovery of the anchor. The integrated chain pipe and large through-deck hawse pipe facilitate easy entry and exit of the rode, streamlining anchoring procedures. Powered by a 1000-watt DC motor, the windlass achieves a retrieval speed of up to 79 feet per minute for chain and 65 feet per minute for rope, with a maximum pull capacity of 1540 pounds. Its sealed oil bath gearbox, made from marine-grade hard anodized alloy, delivers high efficiency and durability, ensuring dependable performance over time.

Included in the kit are all necessary components for installation and operation, such as an on/off breaker panel, reversing solenoid, up/down switch, and clutch release handle. Maxwell's HRC 10-8 is backed by a three-year limited warranty, underscoring its quality and reliability. Whether used with rope, chain, or combination rodes, this windlass offers the security, ease of use, and robustness needed for safe and efficient anchoring during marine adventures.
