10 RC12 Windlass
Rope and Chain Selection
THE MAXWELL WINDLASSES ARE DESIGNED FOR ROPE/CHAIN SYSTEMS USING: 16-
20mm (5/8”- 3/4”) rope, 10 - 13mm (3/8” – 1/2”) short link chain.
Your Windlass should have a rating of approximately 3 times total combined weight of the anchor
and chain.
The ground tackle should have been selected taking into account:
a) Boat size, displacement and windage.
b) Conditions of operation such as maximum depth of water, type of bottom and weather
conditions.
c) Holding power and size of anchor, taking special note of the manufacturers’
recommendations.
CORRECT FIT OF ROPE/CHAIN TO CHAINWHEEL IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE WINDLASS TO
OPERATE PROPERLY.
Selection of chainwheel:
16mm - 20mm (5/8”- 3/4”) rope / 10mm (3/8”) chain CW = P103317
16mm - 20mm (3/4”) rope / 12mm/13mm (1/2”) chain CW = P103318
16mm - 20mm (5/8”- 3/4”) rope / 10mm (3/8”) chain ACW = P103321
16mm - 20mm (3/4”) rope / 12mm/13mm (1/2”) chain ACW = P103322
THE WINDLASS SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MAXWELL CHAIN
STOPPER, OR SNUBBER, OF THE APPROPRIATE SIZE.
