Why this package stands out

• Integrated safety and control: The RC6 unit’s circuit breaker protects the system from overload, while the dedicated up/down switch and solenoid deliver precise, reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
• Strong, durable line setup: A 12 mm plaited rope provides excellent strength and flexibility, securely spliced to 10 m of 6 mm chain to deliver the best balance of weight, stretch, and anchor hold.
• Corrosion-resistant hardware: Stainless steel maXtek anchor swivel reduces line twist and wear, improving reliability and easing handling in changing seas and winds.
• Compact, capable anchor: The 6 kg MAXSET anchor (M0184-ASM) is designed to provide solid holding power for small to mid-sized vessels, making it ideal for everyday mooring and coastal cruising.
• All-in-one convenience: With the RC6 control and the full rope-and-chain anchor setup included, you save time sourcing components and ensure compatibility across the entire system.

Ideal uses and scenarios

• Coastal cruising and weekend sailing where quick, dependable anchoring is essential
• Small to mid-sized boats that benefit from a compact, integrated control system with manual override
• Remote or offshore mooring where consistent grip and reliable retrieval are priorities
• Situations requiring reduced deck clutter: one complete package minimizes additional parts and assembly steps

How it helps you manage anchoring with confidence

The Maxwell RC6 Package 1 delivers a streamlined, user-friendly anchoring workflow. Deploy the anchor with the push of a button, and retrieve it smoothly using the up function—thanks to the solenoid-driven actuation and built‑in safety features. The rope-to-chain combination provides the right balance of weight distribution and load transfer, helping the anchor bite securely even in variable bottom conditions. The included anchor swivel minimizes line twist, so you can reset quickly without tangles creeping into your rode.

Practical tips for setup and care

• Mount the RC6 control unit in a dry, accessible location with clear clearance for deck operations and wiring routes.
• Check the circuit breaker setting and ensure proper wiring according to your vessel’s electrical system to maintain safe operation.
• Inspect the rope, chain, and swivel regularly for wear, corrosion, or fraying; replace components if any damage is detected.
• Keep the rope and chain clean after saltwater exposure to prevent stiffness and corrosion; rinse with fresh water and allow to dry before storage.
