Description
Maxwell RC10 Anchor Winch – Configurable for Boats up to 16m
Powerful, flexible, and engineered for demanding anchoring.
The Maxwell RC10 is a heavy-duty, high-performance windlass designed for boats up to 16 metres. Built with a full stainless steel body, powerful motor options, and Maxwell’s patented Wave Design™ chainwheel, it’s made to handle serious tackle and tough anchoring conditions—whether you’re dropping the pick at Great Barrier or hauling chain in the middle of the Gulf.
Available in multiple configurations, the RC10 series gives you two core models based on chain size:
-
RC10-8 – for 8mm (5/16″) chain, suitable for boats up to 13m
-
RC10-10 – for 10mm (3/8″) chain, suitable for boats up to 16m
Each model offers a range of motor and deck clearance options to suit your vessel layout.
