**Features**

-   The HRC 10-8 has a patented uniquely designed chain wheel will accommodate ANY 5/16" or 8 mm marine grade chain spliced to 5/8" rope.  
    
-   The aesthetically pleasing above deck design, evolved from the philosophy of form follows function, encapsulates the motor and drive in a two part watertight case, saving space below deck  
    
-   Case Material: Anodized Aluminum  
    
-   The two part case consists of a die cast, marine-grade hard anodised alloy front section and a rugged and easily removable composite motor cover aft section.  
    
-   This two piece watertight case allows for quick and easy, on-deck,routine maintenance.  
    
-   Simple " bolt down" installation ensures effortless and rapid on-deck installation and set up.  
    
-   The stainless steel pressure arm always exerts maximum control pressure on the rode (rope, splice or chain).  
    
-   The new and revolutionary patented Wave Design chainwheel is able to accommodate a wide range of chain pitch differences, within the specified chain size diameters, suitable for use with the HRC10 Series.  
    
-   The unique Maxwell " wrap around" horizontal chainwheel ensures that more than 90x of the wheel is used, allowing greatly improved rope and chain handling compared with competitor designs.  
    
-   High quality Stainless Steel chainwheels  
    
-   The HRC10 works just as effectively with all-chain rodes for those who desire the added security and holding power of an all-chain anchor system.  
    
-   The integral chain pipe and huge, through deck hawse pipe throat ensures easy entry of the rope / chain rode into and out of the anchor locker.  
    
-   Cone type clutch/brake mechanism permits manual, "free fall" anchoring and emergency crank recovery of the rode and anchor if required.  
    
-   The sealed oil bath and marine-grade hard anodised, alloy gearbox provides high efficiency output drive via precision worm and wormwheel.
