INTRODUCTION
You now own a Windlass from
MAXWELL’S
premier range, designed for automatic
anchor handling.
Used in conjunction with MAXWELL’S Link System Electronic Controls, you will get
system protection and finger-tip control of anchor raising or lowering.
The compact deck saving vertical design allows 180º wrap of the chain ensuring
maximum engagement with the chainwheel. On VWC types a vertical drum allows
working of mooring or docking lines from any direction.
A clutch allows manual control for lowering the anchor under free fall and manual
override when using the emergency crank. The clutch also allows independent
operation of the drum on VWC types.
