    ANCHOR WINDLESS

      MAXWELL

    Freedom Series Windlasses


    These low-profile windlasses feature a patented tension system that creates just the right amount of resistance to feed your rode into the locker instead of jamming it in the windlass. Designed for easy installation, Freedom windlasses can be oriented in any of 12 positions below decks. Two pieces bolt together quickly. Gasketed, watertight base. The emergency handle and a screwdriver are the only tools required for maintenance. Dual-direction panel switch and solenoid included. For decks to 2 3/4'' thick.

    FEATURES

    • Maxwell's revolutionary design automatically feeds anchor rode into and out of the anchor locker allowing effortless handling of rope, chain or rope/chain rodes.
    • Sleek, captive on deck design for smooth, snag free operation.
    • Trouble free transition from rope to chain by means of an innovative tension arm system within a safer enclosed design.
    • Maxwell recommends the use of 8 plait nylon rope in conjunction with Maxwell's unique performance plate (supplied with winch) to help ensure trouble free performance.
    • High speed, jam free retrieval of rope and chain from remote control stations.
    • Dual direction, power up and down operation.
    • Simplified two piece installation without disassembly of windlass.
    • Alternative gearbox/motor positions accommodate virtually all installation situations.
    • Manual override using the emergency crank handle provided.
    • Marine-grade, hard anodised alloy housing finished in metallic charcoal.
    • Full disassembly capability of top works utilising handle provided and a screwdriver - no special tools required.
    • Heavy duty, dual direction motor, designed for marine winches.
    • Isolated ground type, with durable class F insulation. Easily removed for servicing.
    • Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual "free fall" anchoring. Cone clutches, unlike dog clutches, provide smooth disengagement, ensuring safe operator control.
    • Sealed oil bath and marine-grade anodised alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel.
    Important: Maxwell windlasses must be used in conjunction with a chain stopper or snubbing device to take the load off the windlass while laying at anchor. The chain stopper and alternative snubbing system can also be used to secure the anchor in the fully raised position while under way.
