The RC12 Series incorporates Maxwell's latest stylish innovation in automatic rope/chain technology. Retaining the classic open design styling more appropriate on larger boats, the RC12 Series represents the next generation of rope/chain windlass evolution in every respect.

Maxwell once again leads the market in innovative thinking with the introduction of their latest Wave Design™ chainwheel. This patented rope/chain wheel incorporates two unique design concepts that greatly improve the handling and control of the rope/chain spliced rode. The outer ribs of the chainwheel are angled slightly forward ensuring that the rope and the chain are smoothly guided in the wheel during anchor retrieval.


Features

  • The RC12-12 fully automatic windlass series is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 12 - 13 mm (1/2") short link chain and 20 mm (5/8") three strand or 8-Plait rope.
  • Stainless steel AISI 316.
  • A sleek, Low Profile version and a fluted stainless steel (AISI 316) capstan drum version, are available.
  • The RC12 is packed with patented innovative features combined with Maxwell's traditionally classic aesthetics, but reflecting the modern "form follows function" of the highly successful RC6, RC8 and RC10 series windlasses.
  • With a maximum pull of 1590 kg (3500 lb), and an anchor retrieval rate of 15 m/min (50ft/min), the RC12-12 is one of the fastest and gruntiest windlasses in its class.
  • The elegantly designed deckplate and chainpipe cover are manufactured in polished marine-grade (AISI 316) stainless steel, as are the heavy duty pressure arm, stripper, chainwheel and fluted capstan drum.
  • The huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.
  • Double cone-type brake/clutch mechanism permits 'Free Fall' anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth progressive engagement, ensuring safe and precise operator control.
  • The RC12 features Maxwell's revolutionary and patented new Wave DesignT chainwheel.
  • Emergency manual retrieval is made simple and easy with Maxwell's unique "Active Latch Ratchet System" operation that prevents backwind of the windlass during manual hauling of the anchor.
  • Every Maxwell RC12 automatic rope/chain windlass comes with top works, motor/gear box and dual direction solenoid. Switches and circuit breaker are available and need to be ordered separately.
  • Activation of the ratcheted mechanism lever ensures the windlass cannot backwindduring emergency (manual) retrieval of the rode (rope and/or chain) and anchor.
  • Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper and/or alternative snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while laying at anchor. The chain stopper and alternative snubbing system should also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
  • Every Maxwell automatic rope/chain windlass is available with all the necessary components for fully automatic dual direction control in a competitively priced package.


The Maxwell designed, and innovative black, hard anodized gearbox provides numerous advantages

  • Fast and easy windlass installation.
  • More corrosion resistant.
  • Easy to maintain and service.
  • Takes up less room in the anchor locker.
  • 100:1 ratio, single stage design with less moving parts, for smoother and quieter operation.
  • Allows for multi-positioning of the gearbox/motor.

FAQ

Return Policy

We don't want to see you stuck with a part that is not right for your application, or that you no longer need.  We issue refunds every day to make sure our customers have a positive purchase experience.  All these are issued as refunds, we do not maintain store credits. Returns must be initiated within 30 days of receiving the order.

However, for various policy, safety, and regulatory reasons, a small number of items are non-returnable for credit.  These are normally noted on the product page and visible at the time of purchase.  See our Returns Policy for full details on product returnability.

For orders where the item has been received is incorrect, defective or has been damaged in transit, we will pay return shipping and either replace the item or refund the amount paid, at the customer's discretion.

If the reason for the return is different, the customer is responsible for inbound and outbound shipping costs.  Shipping costs paid on the original order are non-refundable.  For orders shipped free on our $99 Free Shipping offer, an amount may be deducted from your refund to cover outbound shipping costs if returned.

Special Orders are normally non-cancellable and non-returnable because a lot of additional work must be performed to obtain a special order part that is not ordered very often.  If we are able to facilitate a special order return, you may have up to a 30% restocking fee deducted from your refund to cover manufacturer restocking fees and other associated costs.

Refunds can only be returned to the same method of payment that was originally used to pay for the order.

General Shipping Standards

Current shipping lead times are detailed on each product page and are based on the location of stocked items.  In the vast majority of cases, we are able to ship in-stock products the next business day for orders placed before 4 pm Eastern time Monday through Thursday and before noon on Sunday for Monday delivery. Any items displaying shipping lead times greater than 1-2 Business Days will ship in the time frame indicated.

 

Note that in multi-product purchases, shipping costs are calculated based on the combined shipment weight of all items.  If individual items within an order have varying lead times, the order will not ship until all items are available for shipment.

 

Special Order Items average a shipping lead time of about three weeks.  

 

Back Orders
