Maxwell RC10-10 Capstan Windlass 12V - 3/8" Chain & 5/8" Rope

The Maxwell RC10-10 Capstan Windlass 12V is a purpose-built electric anchor handling system designed for serious boaters and anglers who demand reliable deck automation. This windlass allows for single-handed operation from the helm or remote control, reducing the physical labor associated with anchor deployment and retrieval, especially in challenging weather conditions.

Built to Maxwell's proven marine-duty standards, the RC10-10 operates on 12V DC power and accommodates both 3/8-inch chain and 5/8-inch rope. The capstan design distributes load evenly across the drum, which is critical for reducing shock loads during sudden weather shifts or foul-ground recovery. The windlass is engineered with electrical components sealed against saltwater intrusion and corrosion, ensuring durability in marine environments.

This windlass excels aboard center console fishing boats, cruising sailboats, and displacement-hull trawlers, where reliable anchor handling directly impacts safety and fishing success. Installation requires a bow roller mount and integration with a 12V electrical system, making it suitable for a variety of vessel types.
