The RC8-8 also features a sleek and durable capstan drum, crafted from chromed bronze, which provides a smooth and reliable ride for your rope. Its heavy-duty stainless steel pressure arm and large wire diameter, stainless steel pre-loaded spring work together to exert maximum control pressure, giving you unparalleled performance. Additionally, the windlass's through-deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry and exit of the rope/chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.

Further enhancing the RC8-8's capabilities is its full disassembly feature, which allows for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.
