Maxwell RC12-10 Hydraulic 190TDC CW Vertical Anchor Windlass with Drum (Vetus P104944)
The Maxwell RC12-10 Hydraulic is a fully automatic vertical rope/chain anchor windlass and represents the top-range model within the Maxwell RC Series. This version is configured with an increased Total Deck Clearance of 190 TDC, allowing installation on vessels with thick deck structures or special mounting requirements.
Manufactured from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, the RC12-10 offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The patented Wave Design™ chainwheel ensures smooth anchor deployment and retrieval, secure handling of both chain and rope, and reliable passage of the rope-to-chain splice during anchoring operations.
This configuration is equipped with a fluted stainless steel capstan drum, enabling independent rope handling operations in addition to standard anchor deployment and retrieval. A ratcheted mechanism prevents backwinding during emergency manual recovery, ensuring safe and controlled operation under high anchoring loads. The hydraulic drive system is ideal for vessels equipped with onboard hydraulic power.
