The Maxwell Windlass HRC10-8-24v redefines anchor handling for larger pleasure craft and light commercial vessels. Crafted as part of Maxwell’s HRC10 Horizontal Series, this fully automatic windlass is designed for above-deck installation on boats up to 16 meters (52 feet), delivering smooth operation, rugged reliability, and simplified maintenance in a compact two-piece watertight enclosure.

• Maximum pull: 700 kg (1540 lb) for confident anchoring in demanding conditions
• Static hold: 1500 kg (3300 lb) to secure your rode even in heavy seas
• Rope/chain compatibility: designed to deploy and retrieve 8 mm chain or 14 mm nylon rope (3-strand or 8-plait)
• Rode speeds: chain at 24 m/min and rope at 20 m/min for efficient anchor deployment and retrieval
• Power and control: 24V DC, 1000W motor delivers steady, reliable performance

The HRC10’s two-part watertight case houses a marine-grade die-cast front section and a rugged composite motor cover at the aft. This design not only protects critical components but also simplifies on-deck maintenance with quick-access panels and straightforward bolt-down installation, letting you get underway with minimal downtime.

A few standout hardware decisions push the HRC10 ahead:

• Stainless steel pressure arm: maintains maximum control pressure on the rode, whether you’re deploying a rope/chain combo or an all-chain setup
• Wave Design™ chainwheel: accommodates a wide range of chain pitch differences and, with a wrap-around configuration that engages more than 90 degrees of the wheel, delivers superior rope/chain handling compared with conventional designs
• Integral chain pipe and large through-deck hawse pipe throat: ensures smooth entry and exit of the rode, reducing snag and wear
• Cone-type clutch/brake: enables manual, free-fall anchoring and emergency crank recovery when needed
• Sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard-anodised gearbox: paired with a precision worm/worm wheel drive for high efficiency and long service life

What makes the HRC10-8-24v particularly compelling is its versatility and real-world impact. It’s ideal for boaters who value robust anchor security on vessels up to 52 feet, who prefer an above-deck system that’s quick to install, and who want the option to switch between rope and chain without swapping equipment. The design also accommodates all-chain rodes for those prioritizing holding power, giving you added peace of mind in variable conditions.

Practical use cases include coastal cruising with frequent anchoring in rocky or windy harbors, charter operations on mid-sized yachts where downtime is costly, and fishing or inspection vessels that rely on reliable, straightforward anchor handling. The HRC10-8-24v excels in environments where quick deployment, predictable winching, and low maintenance are priorities.
