At the heart of the unit is Maxwell's patented Wave Design chainwheel, which accommodates a range of chain pitch differences within the specified chain size and smoothly guides the rope\/chain splice through the gypsy during anchor retrieval. The RC8 also works effectively with all-chain rodes. A heavy duty stainless steel pressure arm, backed by a large-wire-diameter stainless steel pre-loaded spring, keeps constant control pressure on the rope\/chain splice for reliable handling. Installation is a simple two-piece design: a unique spacer tube accommodates virtually any deck thickness, and multiple mounting positions along with a self-aligning gearbox let you optimally locate the gearbox and motor for the installation at hand, without disassembling the windlass. A large through-deck hawse pipe throat allows easy entry and exit of the rope\/chain rode from the anchor locker. The topworks fully disassemble using only the handle provided and an Allen key, and the unit includes manual override and free-fall operation via an emergency crank\/clutch handle. The gearbox runs in a sealed oil bath and is built from marine-grade hard-anodized alloy, driving a precision worm and worm wheel for maximum output. This 12V model is recommended for boats up to approximately 33 feet.\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 RC88CAP12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical windlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pull:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1320 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatic Hold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2640 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 440 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch (8 mm) short-link chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/16 inch to 5\/8 inch (14 mm to 16 mm) three-strand or 8-plait rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain Retrieval Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 105 feet per minute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope Retrieval Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 feet per minute\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 1000W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Amps (typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Circuit Breaker Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135 Amps\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\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to approximately 33 feet\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\u003eManual Override:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, via emergency crank\/clutch handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helm switch;
