Maxwell Up/Down Anchor Switch P102938 - Panel-Mount Windlass Remote, 12V/24V DC

The Maxwell Up/Down Anchor Switch (P102938) is a panel-mounted remote control switch that lets you run the windlass from the helm, flying bridge, or cockpit instead of standing at the bow. It is built for use with dual-directional solenoids, so a single press sends the up or down command straight to the solenoid pack controlling the windlass motor. The switch housing is manufactured from marine-grade materials and is splash proof, so it holds up to spray and washdown in an open helm or flying bridge station without needing extra weather covers.

A built-in power indicator light confirms the switch is live, and back lighting makes the up/down positions easy to see and operate at night or in low light. The switch is wired for 12V or 24V DC systems, matching either voltage used on Maxwell dual-directional windlass solenoid setups. It comes in a black finish and is sold as a single panel-mounted unit, making it a straightforward way to add or replace remote windlass control at a second helm position or to restore up/down function at the primary control station.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Maxwell P102938 switch do? The P102938 is a panel-mounted Up/Down switch that lets you operate a Maxwell windlass remotely from the helm, flying bridge, or cockpit instead of the bow.

What windlass solenoids does this switch work with? P102938 is designed for use with dual-directional solenoids, sending the up or down command to the solenoid pack that drives the windlass motor.

Is the P102938 switch waterproof? It is splash proof and manufactured from marine-grade materials, suitable for mounting at an open helm or flying bridge station exposed to spray.

What voltage does the P102938 anchor switch use? This switch is suitable for use with 12V or 24V DC dual-directional solenoid systems.

Does the switch have a light so I can see it at night? Yes, the P102938 includes a power indicator light and back lighting so the up/down positions are visible in low light or at night.

What color is the Maxwell P102938 switch? The P102938 Up/Down anchor switch has a black finish.

How many switches come in one order? Each order includes one Maxwell P102938 panel-mounted Up/Down switch.

How much does the P102938 switch weigh? The Maxwell Up/Down Anchor Switch weighs 0.14 pounds.

Can I install a second control station with this switch? Yes, since the P102938 is a standalone panel-mounted switch, it can be added at a second location such as a flying bridge or cockpit to control the same dual-directional solenoid setup.

Does the P102938 switch include the solenoids or wiring harness? No, the P102938 is the Up/Down control switch only; it is intended for use with a separate dual-directional solenoid pack.
