Maxwell RC10-10 Hydraulic 150TDC CW Vertical Anchor Windlass (Vetus P105440)
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 drive systems and increased deck clearance (150 TDC). This chainwheel‑only version delivers reliable performance without an integrated drum, making it suitable for installations requiring a compact, powerful anchoring solution.
Constructed with marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) and chromed bronze, the RC10-10 Hydraulic windlass offers outstanding corrosion resistance and durability in harsh marine environments. The hydraulic drive provides smooth, consistent operation equivalent to a 1200 W electric motor, ideal for demanding anchoring tasks on cruising yachts, motorboats, and workboats.
