Maxwell RC10-10 Hydraulic 100TDC CW Vertical Anchor Windlass with Drum (Vetus P102599)
The Maxwell RC10-10 Hydraulic is a fully automatic vertical rope/chain anchor windlass from the upper mid-range Maxwell RC10 Series, engineered for vessels requiring hydraulic power systems and dependable anchoring performance. This model is supplied with an integral capstan drum for independent rope handling operations in addition to standard chain retrieval and deployment.
Designed for installation with a 100 TDC (Total Deck Clearance) configuration and clockwise (CW) rotation, this hydraulic windlass provides smooth, efficient anchor handling while accommodating thicker deck installations. Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, it ensures long-term corrosion resistance and durability in harsh marine environments. Its hydraulic drive system delivers performance equivalent to a 1200 W electric unit, making it suitable for demanding anchoring tasks on cruising and commercial vessels.
