lost anchor for windlass- need specs to order new one
I broke the rope trying to get the anchor unstuck yesterday and lost everything. I need the measurements in order a new one. If anyone can get those for me, it would be greatly appreciated. I need overall length of the main anchor shaft. Pics would be great if possible.

Sorry to hear .. but it’s easy to remedy.Patriot 8713 wrote: Sun Jun 30, 2019 9:15 am I broke the rope trying to get the anchor unstuck yesterday and lost everything.

There are two companies involved. 1st your anchor is a 14lb Delta by lewmar. You may have had a all stainless version but the Galvanized will look and be the same.
2nd is your chain/ rope combo. As early maxwells took a 8mm or 10mm depending on rigging I would call to be sure as it does make a difference.
I would image by the year you have a early version RC10 by Maxwell.
I would get the rope chain combo from them as it will mesh perfectly.

Re: lost anchor for windlass- need specs to order new one
I got everything replaced and all is working awesome. I called and talked to a Maxwell tech and he explained why it has to be a 8 plait rope and how the chain diameter and spacing is so important. He was awesome and sent me the owners and service manual for my windlass. Mine is a discontinued model (Freedom 500), but they still have all the necessary repair parts available. Thanks to all who helped!
FYI...darkhorsemarine.com had the best price on the rope and chain. I found them on Amazon.
