Zozza 125 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Used for four weeks over Xmas last summer. This WIndlass is in perfect condition, as you would expect from a near new piece of equipment. 6-7mm chain Gypsy. Only selling as I am changing my windlass and anchoring set up due to the low freeboard of my boat. I am going retro and changing to an electric windlass that does not incorporate an integral chain pipe as almost all the new ones do . Selling at $975 firm. Solenoid included. $1700 new these days. https://www.burnsco.co.nz/shop/12v-electrical/winches/anchor-winches/anchor-winch-maxwell-rc8-6 There is one catch....I have yet to remove it off my deck, but that is no problem for if a serious buyer comes forward, that will motivate me to remove it. I will throw in the specially made black sunbrella cover that keeps the rain out while at anchor.

KM... 829 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 That winch is in new condition. It can run 6 or 7mm chain with or without being spliced to a good 12mm warp, it loves the good 8 braid. If you are considering one of these winches it is a very good deal. I've sat thru 55kts using a 7mm chain/12mm warp combo on my 930, not the most pleasant of evening as we sailed around like a mad woman on meth as those boats do, but the anchor system held strong and we didn't move an inch.

Zozza 125 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I will be removing the windlas, motor & solenoid this weekend. Also comes with the winch handle/clutch. You can use this as a manual winch too in case of electrical issues on your boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
