wide-face, precision, bronze spur gears in a sealed oil bath. It is
removable as a sealed unit for servicing. (Specifications differ
depending on motor and winch rating).

marine-grade alloy bronze.
- Marine-grade pretreated alloy casing, powder coated and finished
with a two component white polyurethane paint.
Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in
conjunction with a chain stopper or snubbing device to take the load off
the windlass while laying at anchor. The chain stopper and alternative
snubbing system can also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised
position while under way.  |
