Product Description

DESCRIPTION

The Maxwell HRC6 is a compact horizontal rope/chain windlass designed to bring power and innovation to vessels needing efficient, above-deck anchor solutions. Built as the horizontal version of Maxwell’s renowned RC6, the HRC6 features a patented pressure arm system, providing smooth and snag-free rode transition from rope to chain. Its high-efficiency spur gearbox, complete with a non-backwind mechanism, ensures jam-free operation and high-speed anchor retrieval.

Constructed from marine-grade alloy with a hard-anodized, watertight case, the HRC6 offers long-lasting durability and aesthetic appeal. The motor is easy to access for routine maintenance, and installation is simplified with a straightforward "bolt-down" setup. Equipped with Maxwell’s automatic free-fall feature, the HRC6 allows for rapid anchor deployment and retrieval with minimal onboard power, making it ideal for boats that need a reliable, low-maintenance windlass.
