The HRC10-10 is designed for rope up to 5/8 inch (16mm) and 3/8-inch (10mm) short-link chain. Its Wave Design™ chainwheel is designed to accommodate a range of chain pitch differences within the specified chain diameters and helps guide the rope and chain during retrieval.

Can the Maxwell Marine HRC10-10 be used with an all-chain anchor rode?

Yes. The Maxwell Marine HRC10-10 works with all-chain rodes as well as rope/chain spliced rode. The windlass also features a wrap-around horizontal chainwheel that uses more than 90° of the wheel to improve rope and chain handling.

The kit includes the windlass, circuit breaker, helm switch, dual solenoid, and emergency crank. The HRC10-10 also features a two-piece watertight case designed for on-deck routine maintenance and a stainless steel pressure arm for control of the rope, splice, or chain.

Does the Maxwell Marine HRC10-10 require a chain stopper or snubbing device?

Yes. The supplied product information states that Maxwell windlasses must be used with a chain stopper or alternative snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while the vessel is at anchor. The device should also secure the anchor in the fully raised position while the vessel is underway.
