Maxwell HRCFF7 winch for 7mm Chain

Maxwell HRCFF7 winch for 7mm Chain

The HRC is Maxwell’s only automatic free-fall windlass and is a compact windlass which was designed for boats ranging from 5m to 11m. The HRC is available in three different sizes which are: 6mm, 7mm, 8mm and 10mm (non free-fall).

The free fall function is controlled by briefly deploying the anchor from the helm via a switch and letting gravity take over, when you’re ready to stop the fall of the anchor you simply engage the upward switch on the controls which will tighten the clutches and stop the fall of the anchor.

The windlass can also be used without free-fall by simply switching a control lever lever on the front of the HRCFF windlass to non-free-fall mode. This can be left on permanently if desired (i.e. if you prefer not to use the free-fall function) or can be switched back if you’d like to begin using the windlass in free-fall mode once again.

Automatic free fall means that the free fall function is controlled from the helm (via a toggle switch or remote), so no physical contact with the windlass is needed to engage free fall.
