I just got done fixing my maxwell windlass on our 2010 3200 Open, which I believe is original.  It is a maxwell freedom 500.  It would obviously be helpful to know what model windlass you have.  RC800 is a relatively newer one I think.  Anyway, the little plastic stripper piece is readily available and easy to replace, but be careful because there are a million little washers and things to keep track of when you take apart the windlass topside assembly.  Maxwell's manual for mine was pretty helpful.
