The RC12/10 12V Windlass is a top-of-the-line, fully automatic windlass designed for marine applications, offering reliable performance and exceptional durability. Ideal for boating enthusiasts seeking efficient anchor handling, the RC12 series ensures smooth and effortless retrieval and deployment of chains and ropes, enhancing your vessel's anchoring system.
Key Features
- Automatic Operation: Effortlessly retrieves and deploys 10mm (3/8") short link chain and 16mm (5/8") to 20mm (3/4") three-strand or 8-Plait rope (RC12-10), and 12mm/13mm (1/2") short link chain with 20mm (3/4") three-strand or 8-Plait rope (RC12-12).
- High Performance: Delivers a maximum pull of 1590 kg (3500 lb) and an anchor retrieval rate of 15m/min (50ft/min), making it one of the fastest and strongest windlasses in its class.
- Versatile Options: Available in a sleek Low Profile version and a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version to suit different vessel designs and preferences.
- Innovative Design: Combines Maxwell's classic aesthetics with modern functionality, reflecting the success of the RC6, RC8, and RC10 series.
- Premium Materials: Features polished marine-grade 316 stainless steel deckplate and chainpipe cover, along with heavy-duty components like the pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel, and fluted capstan drum.
Robust Construction
The RC12 windlass boasts a meticulously engineered design, ensuring longevity and resistance to harsh marine environments. The large, through-deck hawse pipe throat facilitates easy entry and exit of the rope or chain rode into the anchor locker, enhancing practicality and ease of use.
Advanced Safety and Control

- Wave Design™ Chainwheel: Maxwell's revolutionary design ensures efficient chain handling and durability.
- Active Latch Ratchet System: Enables straightforward and reliable emergency manual retrieval, preventing backwind during manual anchor hauling.
Innovative Gearbox
The RC12 features a Maxwell-designed, black, hard anodized gearbox that offers multiple advantages:
- Fast and easy installation process
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Simplified maintenance and servicing
- Compact size for reduced space usage in the anchor locker
- High gear ratios of 75:1 (RC12-10) or 100:1 (RC12-12) with a single-stage design for smoother and quieter operation
- Allows multi-positioning of the gearbox/motor for flexible installation options
