    The stainless steel (AISI 316) RC10 Series rope/chain windlass is part of Maxwell’s upper mid-range line-up and is suitable for boats ranging from 9m (30ft) to 14m (48ft).

The intentionally simple design yields excellent longevity and performance figures and has contributed to a well-earned reputation for reliability.
