  • Unique spacer tube design allows installation through virtually any deck thickness and the multiple mounting positions and self aligning gearbox ensure optimal location of gearbox and motor in virtually all installation situations
  • Fully automatic rope / chain windlass is designed to effortlessly retrieve and deploy 1/4" (6mm / 7mm) chain spliced to 1/2" (12 mm) three strand or 8-brait (plait) rope
  • The ingeniously designed rope/chain gypsy (chainwheel) is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences within the specified chain size diameters suitable for use with the RC8 Series
  • Full disassembly capability of topworks utilising handle provided and an Allen key
  • The RC8 Series is manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for long term durability
  • The heavy duty stainless steel pressure arm is designed to effectively help grasp the rope/chain splice, giving the RC8 an unparalleled level of performance
  • In combination with a heavy duty, large wire diameter, stainless steel preloaded spring, the pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure
  • The RC8 works just as effectively with all-chain rodes for those who desire a Low Profile, elegantly styled windlass on their foredeck
  • Huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker

All RC Series windlasses are fitted with Maxwell's unique Wave Design™ chainwheel

  • This patented rope/chain wheel incorporates two unique design concepts that greatly improve the handling and control of the rope/chain spliced rode
  • The outer ribs of the chainwheel are angled slightly forward ensuring that the rope and the chain are smoothly guided in the wheel during anchor retrieval
  • As the rope pulls into the wheel, the opposite facing inner ribs grip the rope in an undulating manner, securing the rope more firmly in a 'wave pattern' action that is far superior to the traditional 'jam cleat' manner of holding the rope
  • Not only does this Wave Design™ hold the rope more securely, it is also kinder on the rope resulting in increased longevity of your anchor rode
  • Wave Design™ Chainwheel Is fitted to all RC Series windlasses, designed for anchor rodes with any marine grade chain, G4, BBB, Proof Coil and Metric

Excellent Quality Wire Lugs and Adhesive Heat Shrink Set
Size: 2/0 Awg - 3/8" (M10) Ring, Number of Items: 10
I recently purchased the 10pcs 2/0 AWG-3/8" Wire Lugs Ring Terminal Connectors along with the 10pcs 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink set from Amazon and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance of this product! Firstly, the wire lugs are exceptionally well-made with heavy-duty materials. The copper construction ensures excellent conductivity, making them ideal for various electrical applications. The 2/0 American Wire Gauge size with a 3/8" ring terminal is perfect for my specific needs, and they fit securely on the cables, providing a reliable and sturdy connection. The wire lugs come with the corresponding 3:1 dual wall adhesive heat shrink tubes, which are an excellent addition to the set. These heat shrink tubes offer superior insulation and protection, making sure that the connection is secure and insulated against any potential damage or short-circuiting. The adhesive lining within the heat shrink tubes ensures a tight and waterproof seal, further enhancing the reliability of the connection. I found the installation process to be straightforward and hassle-free. The wire lugs are easy to crimp onto the cables, and the heat shrink tubes shrink perfectly around the connection using a heat gun. The adhesive within the heat shrink tubes bonds effectively, leaving no room for any moisture or contaminants to compromise the connection. Overall, I highly recommend the 10pcs 2/0 AWG-3/8" Wire Lugs Ring Terminal Connectors and 10pcs 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink set. The quality and performance of this product exceeded my expectations. Whether you're working on automotive projects, marine applications, or any electrical wiring projects, this set will undoubtedly fulfill your requirements. It's a fantastic value for the price, providing reliable and secure connections. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, and I will definitely be purchasing more in the future for my upcoming projects. Don't hesitate – give this product a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Very nice battery lugs. They are not thin junk & they fit. I used a hydraulic crimper which gave me an excellent crimp. Well worth the money.
