It handles 9\/16 inch (14-16 mm) rope and 5\/16 inch G4 HT or 8 mm DIN 766 chain, including the rope-to-chain splice, with a maximum pull of 900 lbs and a static hold of 1540 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two-part case pairs a die cast, marine-grade alloy front section that is hard anodized for corrosion protection with a removable composite motor cover, allowing quick on-deck routine maintenance without disturbing the watertight seal. Maxwell's patented Wave Design chainwheel handles a wide range of chain pitch within the rated size, with outer ribs angled forward to smoothly guide rope and chain during retrieval, and the pressure arm system manages the rope-to-chain transition within an enclosed design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HRC FF-8 includes automatic free-fall technology: activating the Free Fall lever and the down control lets the anchor free-fall out, and switching to the up control automatically disengages the free-fall device so the windlass can power the anchor back up. An emergency free-fall lever is provided for use during a power failure. The high efficiency spur gearbox includes a non-backwind mechanism, and the heavy duty, dual direction motor has integrated wiring for simpler electrical installation. Installation is a simple bolt-down setup, and control is via a remote panel-mounted up\/down switch, with helm switch and optional foot switches\/remote as control options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxwell Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HRCFF812V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct UPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9414761104029\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal windlass (rope\/chain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pull:\u003c\/strong\u003e 900 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatic Hold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1540 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 900 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Short Link:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch (8mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch G4 HT or 8 mm DIN 766 chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/16 inch (14-16 mm) rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108 ft\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGypsy Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch chain gypsy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel \u0026amp;
