It is a low-profile unit designed for the smaller trailer-boat market and is recommended for boats up to approximately 30 feet. The windlass uses Maxwell's patented Wave Design chainwheel, which accommodates a range of chain pitch differences within the specified chain size and guides the rope-to-chain splice through the gypsy during retrieval, with the chainwheel's outer ribs angled forward for smooth handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe deck unit is built from stainless steel and chromed bronze. The RC612V delivers a maximum pull of 770 lbs and a static hold of 1540 lbs, and it runs just as effectively on all-chain rodes as it does on spliced rope\/chain rodes. Retrieval speed is 79 ft\/min on chain and 69 ft\/min on rope, powered by a 500W motor drawing approximately 30 A at 12V DC. A cone-type clutch\/brake mechanism allows manual free-fall anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor if power is unavailable. The kit includes the RC612V windlass, a dual-direction solenoid pack, a circuit breaker\/isolator panel, an up\/down remote control panel, and an emergency crank\/clutch release handle. The sealed oil bath, hard-anodized gearbox drives output through a precision worm and worm wheel, and the windlass carries a 3-year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxwell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e RC612V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical Windlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical windlass (gypsy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V or 24V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pull:\u003c\/strong\u003e 770 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 260 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 770 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 79 feet per minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 69 feet per minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGypsy Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch chain gypsy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch short-link chain (6-7 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch (12 mm) three-strand or 8-plait rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel and chromed bronze deck unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boats up to approximately 30 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManual Override:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, via winch handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helm switch;
