Maxwell RC12-11 Vertical Automatic Rope and Chain Windlass 24V 1200W 190TDC CW
The Maxwell RC12-11 is a stainless steel vertical automatic rope/chain windlass from the Maxwell RC12 Series, supplied under article number Vetus P104957. This model features a 24 V DC, 1200 W electric motor with clockwise (CW) rotation and a 190 TDC chainwheel, engineered for combined rope and chain anchoring operations on marine vessels.
The windlass incorporates Maxwell’s proven automatic rope/chain handling system, enabling smooth anchor deployment and retrieval. The ratcheted mechanism lever enhances operational safety by preventing backwinding during emergency manual retrieval of the anchor rode.
For safe and correct operation, this windlass should be used with a chain stopper and/or alternative snubbing device to take load off the windlass while the vessel is lying at anchor. These devices should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position when underway. The RC12-11 is supplied without drum, allowing versatile integration with anchoring systems.
