Maxwell - RC10-10 Vertical 12V Windlass - For 3/8" Chain & 5/8" Line

Powerful and Efficient Windlass for Seamless Anchoring

The Maxwell RC10-10 Vertical 12V Windlass is engineered for effortless anchoring, offering a powerful and reliable solution for marine vessels. Constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel and chromed bronze, this windlass delivers long-term durability while maintaining an elegant and sleek appearance on the foredeck. Designed for maximum convenience, the RC10-10 automatically retrieves and deploys 10mm (3/8") chain spliced to 16mm (5/8") three-strand or 8-braid (plait) rope with exceptional efficiency.

With a unique rope/chain gypsy and a heavy-duty stainless steel pressure arm, this windlass ensures a secure grip on the splice between rope and chain, optimizing performance and reliability. The large through-deck hawse pipe throat facilitates smooth passage of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker. A sealed oil bath and a marine-grade hard-anodized alloy gearbox enhance longevity while minimizing maintenance needs.

The RC10-10 is available in a sleek Low Profile version as well as a fluted stainless steel capstan drum version. Its simple two-piece installation saves time and allows for easy retrofitting without requiring disassembly. Additionally, the unique spacer tube design supports installation through virtually any deck thickness, while multiple mounting positions and a self-aligning gearbox enable optimal motor and gearbox placement in various installation configurations.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
