RC 8 - 8 CAPSTAN HYD EDC 5/16" C

Maxwell's all new RC series windlasses proudly follow in the highly successful footsteps of the Freedom, Liberty and HRC fully automatic rope/chain anchor winches. RC8 is available in both capstan and low profile versions. Maxwell once again leads the market in innovative thinking with the introduction of their latest Wave Design-chainwheel. This patented rope/chain wheel incorporates two unique design concepts that greatly improve the handling and control of the rope/chain spliced rode. The outer ribs of the chainwheel are angled slightly forward ensuring that the rope and the chain are smoothly guided in the wheel during anchor retrieval. As the rope pulls into the wheel, the opposite facing inner ribs grip the rope in an undulating manner, securing the rope more firmly in a 'wave pattern' action that is far superior to the traditional 'jam cleat' manner of holding the rope compared to all other products on the market. Not only does this Wave Design-hold the rope more securely, it is also kinder on the rope resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode.
