Which Maxwell windlass do I have? - recppd - 07-16-2020
I have a 2000 Tiara 3500 Open with a Maxwell windlass that works great. I want to replace the anchor, chain and rode, but during a quick inspection I could only see the serial number out the outside of the windlass. Does anyone know which model Maxwell would have been installed back in 2000? I emailed Tiara but have gotten no response.

ON the Maxwell unit itself there is a number where the crank handle goes. That number, I believe will be a 600 or 800. That's the model number. On my 38 Open its a Maxwell 800....M2C

Okay thanks. I'll look but I didn't see a number jump out at me. Even with the number, how do I determine which chain wheel is installed? I believe it's 5/8" 8 plait with 5/16" chain, but I want to verify before ordering a whole new setup. The stamp on the chain only tells me it's G4, not the size. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

Understood. On my Maxwell 800 the rode is 5/16" chain with 5/8 line

Well Tiara responded and you were correct. It is an 800 with 5/8" / 5/16" wheel. Thanks.
Maxwell windlass - What model on 2000 Tiara 4000 Express - frank.koetter - 03-23-2022
I wanted to send a thanks. I have a 2000 Tiara 4000 Express and parts within the Maxwell chainwheel broke so I can't pull in the rhode.
I was able to look at location where the crank handle fits and find I have an 800 series windlass (Maxwell RC800). Just ordered a replacement chainwheel - so hopefully next step is it's an easy replacement/repair.

My 32 Open also has a Maxwell windlass with a capstan. How do I disengage the chain from the capstan to use it independently from the anchor?

I've attached the manual for the maxwell vwc windlass with integrated capstan. Instructions for using the capstan are on page 20.
