Frequently Asked Questions
What Maxwell windlass models is this pressure arm upgrade kit compatible with?
This kit is compatible with older Maxwell HRC 6 and HRC 8 windlass models that have a white finish.
What is included in the Maxwell Windlass Pressure Arm Upgrade Kit?
The kit includes the pressure arm, a clip, and a clip insulator, providing all necessary components for the upgrade.
Why is a pressure arm upgrade important for my windlass?
A functional pressure arm is crucial for ensuring the smooth and reliable transition of rode from rope to chain, preventing jamming and operational inconsistencies.
Can this kit be used with rope-only rode?
While this kit is primarily designed to improve rope-to-chain transition, a properly functioning pressure arm contributes to overall rode management. However, its core benefit is for mixed rodes.
What is the difference between the old and new model pressure arms?
This kit is for older models, implying design modifications to address performance issues that may have necessitated later revisions or different configurations in newer windlass designs.
