The Maxwell 700 Windlass is a robust and reliable anchor handling system designed for medium-sized vessels. It features a powerful motor and smooth operation for efficient anchor chain deployment and retrieval. The anchor chains are durable, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with the windlass for secure mooring.

The Maxwell 700 Windlass is designed for boats up to 70 feet, with a pulling power of 1,700W (12V) or 2,200W (24V). It supports chain sizes of 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm, with a gypsy compatible with DIN 766 and ISO 4565 standards. Anchor chains are typically Grade 30 or Grade 40 high-tensile steel, with a working load limit of 1,500 kg to 3,000 kg. Chain material is galvanized or stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Buoyancy is negligible due to metal density. Viscosity is not applicable, as chains are solid. The windlass features automatic free-fall and retrieval, with a chain speed of approximately 12 meters per minute.
