Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stripper arm kit for a windlass?
A stripper arm kit is a windlass accessory designed to guide the anchor rode (rope and/or chain) into and out of the gypsy or wildcat. It typically features a projection or arm that prevents slack rope or chain from wrapping around the windlass shaft or other components, thus preventing fouling.
How does the Maxwell Stripper Arm Kit for Freedom 800 work?
This kit utilizes an innovative pressure arm system that applies controlled pressure to the rope-chain splice or junction. This guides the rode smoothly into the gypsy while the enclosed design prevents stray strands or links from interfering with the windlass mechanism.
What is the benefit of an enclosed design for a stripper arm?
An enclosed design offers a significant safety benefit by fully containing the rope and chain transition. This drastically reduces the possibility of the rode snagging on external objects or wrapping around moving parts of the windlass, ensuring a cleaner and more reliable operation.
Is this kit compatible with windlasses other than the Maxwell Freedom 800?
No, this specific Stripper Arm Kit (SKU: CWR36524, MPN: P100085) is engineered exclusively for the Maxwell Freedom 800 windlass. Using it on other models may result in improper fitment or performance.
What materials are typically used in Maxwell stripper arm kits?
Maxwell typically utilizes high-strength, corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials for their windlass accessories. While specific material composition can vary, expect durable plastics, stainless steel, or anodized aluminum to ensure longevity in harsh marine environments.
