INSTALLATION, OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SERVICE MANUAL
VWC 1200 AND VWCLP 1200 WINDLASSES
INTRODUCTION
You now own a Windlass from MAXWELL’S premier range, designed for automatic
anchor handling.
Used in conjunction with MAXWELL’S Link System Electronic Controls, you will get
system protection and finger-tip control of anchor raising or lowering.
The compact deck saving vertical design allows 180º wrap of the chain ensuring
maximum engagement with the chainwheel. On VWC types a vertical drum allows
working of mooring or docking lines from any direction.
A clutch allows manual control for lowering the anchor under free fall and manual
override when using the emergency crank. The clutch also allows independent
operation of the drum on VWC types.
** IMPORTANT **
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE CORRECT APPLICATION, INSTALLATION,
OPERATION AND TO CARRY OUT THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE AS DESCRIBED
HEREIN, COULD JEOPARDISE YOUR SAFETY AND INVALIDATE THE
WARRANTY.
Your MAXWELL Windlass is a precision engineered product. Please read these
instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT
PERSONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WHEN USING YOUR WINDLASS AT ALL TIMES PRACTICE GOOD SEAMANSHIP
AND AVOID ANY LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT BY ADHERING TO THE
FOLLOWING RULES.
AT ALL TIMES KEEP HANDS, FEET, LOOSE CLOTHING AND HAIR WELL CLEAR
OF THE WINDLASS.
NEVER USE THE WINDLASS UNDER POWER WITH THE LEVER INSERTED IN THE
CLUTCH NUT OR EMERGENCY CRANK COLLAR.
WHEN OPERATING THE CHAINWHEEL PAWL, KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM THE
INCOMING CHAIN.
WHEN THE WINDLASS IS NOT IN USE, OR WHEN USING THE EMERGENCY
CRANK, MAKE SURE THE WINDLASS IS ISOLATED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BY TURNING THE WINDLASS ISOLATOR SWITCH TO “OFF”.
NEVER OPERATE THE WINDLASS FROM A REMOTE STATION WITHOUT A
CLEAR VIEW OF THE WINDLASS AND HAVING MADE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS
WELL AWAY FROM THE WINDLASS.
IF YOUR WINDLASS DOES NOT HAVE A REMOTE CONTROL STATION AND IS
OPERATED FROM THE FOOTSWITCHES ONLY, ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE, TURN THE WINDLASS ISOLATOR SWITCH TO “OFF”. THIS WILL PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL WINDLASS OPERATION IF YOU OR PASSENGERS ACCIDENTALLY
STAND ON FOOTSWITCHES.

** IMPORTANT HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF WINDLASS **
BE SURE YOUR WINDLASS HAS BEEN CORRECTLY SPECIFIED AND
INSTALLED, YOURS AND OTHERS SAFETY MAY DEPEND ON IT. THE
WINDLASS SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A CHAINSTOPPER OF
THE APPROPRIATE SIZE. FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION TO BE POSSIBLE, THE
ANCHOR MUST BE SELF LAUNCHING.
MAXWELL WILL NOT IN ANY WAY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTION OF
A WINDLASS BY OTHERS, INCLUDING DISTRIBUTORS AND AGENTS. IF IN
DOUBT, SEND FULL DETAILS OF YOUR CRAFT TO OUR SALES DEPARTMENT
FOR APPRAISAL AND WRITTEN RECOMMENDATION.
1. Run the engine whilst raising or lowering the anchor. Not only is this a safety
precaution, it also helps minimise the drain on the batteries.
2. Always motor up to the anchor while retrieving the chain.
Do no use the Windlass to pull the boat to the anchor.
3. If the anchor is fouled, do not use the Windlass to break it out.
With the chainstopper taking the load, use the boats engine to break the
anchor loose.
4. Do not use the Windlass as a Bollard.
In all but the lightest conditions, engage the chainstopper after completing
the anchoring manoeuvre.
5. In heavy weather conditions, always use a heavy anchor snub from the chain
directly to a Bollard or Sampson Post.
6. DO NOT USE THE CHAINSTOPPER OR WINDLASS AS A MOORING POINT.
7. ALWAYS TURN THE ISOLATOR SWITCH TO “OFF” BEFORE LEAVING BOAT.
8. When using the Windlass DO NOT SWITCH IMMEDIATELY FROM ONE
DIRECTION TO THE OTHER WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE WINDLASS TO
STOP AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE WINDLASS. Abuse is not covered by
Warranty.
9. The Circuit Breaker and Isolator Switch Panel provides high current
protection for the main supply cables and also the means to isolate the
circuit. When the Isolator Switch is “ON” (red indicator light shows) the
system can be activated at either the footswitches or the remote control
station.
When the system is not being used, ensure that the Isolator Switch is
turned “OFF”.
10. Never proceed at speed with a bow mounted self launching anchor in
position, without first ensuring that your winch clutches are fully engaged,
and having made fast the anchor and engaged your chainstopper.
DO NOT DEPEND ON THE WINDLASS TO HOLD THE ANCHOR IN ITS BOW
ROLLER. A NYLON LINE SHOULD BE USED TO SECURE THE ANCHOR INTO
7
ITS STOWED POSITION WHEN UNDERWAY AND WILL NEED TO BE
REMOVED BEFORE OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS. ALTERNATIVELY, A
PIN THROUGH THE BOW ROLLER AND THE SHANK OF THE ANCHOR CAN
BE USED FOR SECURING.
Most Windlass models have clutches for the manual pay out of ground tackle
in the event of a loss of power. It is therefore prudent to secure the anchor to
the boat by the means described above.

APPLICATION
THE MAXWELL VWC AND VWCLP 1200 WINDLASSES ARE DESIGNED FOR ALL
CHAIN SYSTEMS USING UP TO A MAXIMUM CHAIN SIZE OF 10MM (3/8”) SHORT
LINK CHAIN.
To save weight, a smaller size High Tensile Chain may be used.
** WARNING **
BE SURE YOUR WINDLASS HAS BEEN CORRECTLY SPECIFIED BEFORE
INSTALLATION, YOURS AND OTHERS SAFETY MAY DEPEND ON IT.
MAXWELL WILL NOT IN ANY WAY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTION OF
A WINDLASS BY OTHERS, INCLUDING DISTRIBUTORS AND AGENTS. IF IN
DOUBT, SEND FULL DETAILS OF YOUR CRAFT TO OUR SALES DEPARTMENT
FOR APPRAISAL AND WRITTEN RECOMMENDATION.
Your Windlass should have a rating of approximately 3 times total combined weight of
the anchor and chain.
The ground tackle should have been selected taking into account:
a) Boat size, displacement and windage.
b) Conditions of operation such as maximum depth of water, type of bottom and
weather conditions.
c) Holding power and size of anchor, taking special note of the manufacturers’
recommendations.
CHAIN FIT
CORRECT FIT OF CHAIN TO CHAINWHEEL IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE WINDLASS
TO OPERATE PROPERLY.
A range of chainwheels is available to suit your Windlass.
The correct fit can only be guaranteed where a standard chain known to us is used.
Alternatively a 450mm (18”) or 12 links (whichever is longer) sample must be forwarded
to us to match fit. Where patterns to suit are not held by us we are able to manufacture
to instructions and reserve the right to charge cost thereof.
CHAINSTOPPER
THE WINDLASS SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MAXWELL
CHAINSTOPPER OF THE APPROPRIATE SIZE.
