Overview
On a foredeck with room for a horizontal unit, this Maxwell pulls both materials over its gypsy and adds a drum for warping lines. The line follows Maxwell's earlier automatic rope and chain winches.
The reason to buy is one machine that handles both kinds of anchor line, with a spare drum for extra jobs. The limitation is the thin data: no pull rating, switch or breaker is listed, and the weight and size need deck space.
Who it's for
Boaters up to the stated length with a mixed anchor line will use the capstan and gypsy together. Smaller boats, vertical installs and those who need pull and motor ratings should look at other windlasses.
Pros and cons
- Handles both rope and chain
- Suits larger boats
- Alloy steel and metal build
- Pull rating not listed
- Control parts not listed
- Heavy for small decks
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
A combined gypsy pulls rope and chain together, and the stated chain and rope sizes must match the gypsy or the rode slips. The capstan adds a warping drum for lines. Actual pull depends on motor rating, which is not given.
