The Maxwell Windlass HRC10-10 24V is a meticulously engineered horizontal, fully automatic rope/chain windlass built for larger vessels that demand robust, above-deck anchor handling. With a 1200W 24V motor and a compact deck footprint, this windlass delivers reliable, one-touch control for anchoring sessions on boats from 30 to 53 feet (9–16 meters).

Why this windlass stands out

• Advanced horizontal design – Optimized for extreme deck thickness and limited below-deck access, the HRC10-10 excels where traditional under-deck units struggle, making two-anchor handling from one winch smoother than ever.
• Rope and chain compatibility – Handles rope up to 16 mm (5/8") and chain up to 10 mm (3/8"), including thick rope-to-chain splices, giving you versatile setup options for different anchoring needs.
• Capstan integration – The built-in capstan simplifies line management, easing deployment and retrieval while minimizing wear on line and chain.
• Full system package – Comes with an up/down switch and circuit breaker, so you have everything you need for a ready-to-operate installation.
• Designed for larger boats – Specifically targeted at vessels up to 16 meters (52 feet), providing dependable performance where space and reliability matter most.
