HWC 2500 12V 3/8" 3B CHAIN

The HWC 2500 series is designed for horizontal handling of chain-only anchor rodes while offering an independent capstan for the retrieval of a secondary rope and/or chain rode, or to assist with docking procedures. All components are above-deck, so there is no intrusion into the anchor locker. It features a high-quality finish on above-deck components, manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, for long-term durability. A cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits manual ‘free fall’ anchoring, providing smooth progressive engagement for safe operator control. It includes a chainwheel locking pawl to assist when using the warping drum independently, an anodized aluminum gearbox, and a heavy-duty, dual-direction Cima motor designed for marine winches. The unit is easily disassembled for servicing. Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper or snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while laying at anchor. The chain stopper and alternative snubbing system can also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
