FEATURES
- Maxwell's revolutionary design automatically feeds anchor rode into
and out of the anchor locker allowing effortless handling of rope, chain
or rope/chain rodes.
- Sleek, captive on deck design for smooth, snag free operation.
- Trouble free transition from rope to chain by means of an innovative
tension arm system within a safer enclosed design.
- Maxwell recommends the use of 8 plait nylon rope in conjunction with
Maxwell's unique performance plate (supplied with winch) to help ensure
trouble free performance.
- High speed, jam free retrieval of rope and chain from remote control
stations.
- Dual direction, power up and down operation.
- Simplified two piece installation without disassembly of
windlass.
- Alternative gearbox/motor positions accommodate virtually all
installation situations.
- Manual override using the emergency crank handle provided.
- Marine-grade, hard anodised alloy housing finished in metallic
charcoal.
- Full disassembly capability of top works utilising handle provided
and a screwdriver - no special tools required.
- Heavy duty, dual direction motor, designed for marine winches.
- Isolated ground type, with durable class F insulation. Easily
removed for servicing.
- Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual "free fall"
anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth
disengagement, ensuring safe operator control.
- Sealed oil bath and marine-grade anodised alloy gearbox provides
high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel.
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.
