Installing a Maxwell RC10 vertical windlass on a C&C 39 sailboat requires cutting multiple deck holes, fabricating a custom aluminum backing plate, and running 2-0 gauge electrical cable from the battery bank to the bow.12:40 The installation process involves using a template to align the windlass assembly and chain drop hole, ensuring the unit clears existing structures within the anchor locker.1:17 Because the boat’s bow configuration creates an elevation difference, a custom roller guide is necessary to align the chain path.4:04 The electrical system requires a 75-amp breaker and a solenoid control box, with foot switches mounted on the deck for operation.16:01 To secure the installation, the crew reinforces the deck with a quarter-inch thick aluminum plate and seals all penetrations with butyl tape and 3M 5200 sealant.10:01 A chain stopper and a D-link anchor point provide fail-safes against windlass load and chain loss.27:58 The project concludes with the installation of a locker divider to separate the 300 feet of stainless steel chain from the secondary anchor rode.28:45
