Does anyone have any idea what this windlass is? Maxwells normally have the model on the drum but this one doesn't. Trying to swap the drum out for a chain one, if that's possible for this model. Not with the boat atm to unscrew the front panel in the V berth to look at the info on the motor.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Paul
It looks like a Maxwell VC500 to me. I was unable to locate a chain gypsy for mine so I swapped out the windlass for a Maxwell VW500.
The company was very helpful in determing what was needed for the swap out.
