Yes, Maxwell designates their combo windlasses RC, and like Lewmar, they seem to recommend the 8 brait line, though I think thst 3 strand would also work.
I hope that the winds you describe are worst case. I would not want to be out in them. I am guessing that you would be looking at Alaska or the Northern Pacific coast, so deepish water as well.
To me, such extreme weather would require a blue-water capable boat, like a Nordhaven or expedition trawler, and the heaviest ground tackle I could put on it
We are only trying to plan for a sudden bad storm we can't outrun. (been caught that way once, and didn't like it).
Good luck, stay warm and safe, and have fun.
