Stud mounting bolts allow fast installation. Drum removes easily with a flathead screwdriver. Snap-fit design keeps bearings captive when drum is removed for maintenance. Easy to disassemble for service on deck; socket, washer, and screw-top snap-fit together for mistake-free reassembly.
Harken Digital System Switch
Each electric or hydraulic winch requires two analog switches or one Digital System Switch. Harken Digital System Switches in dual and single-function models set the standard for the reliable operation of electrically-powered yacht systems. To accomplish this, safeguards have been built into the systems. • The waterproof control button translates electrical information into a binary code that won’t allow the system to start without the signals being verified by the decoder. An analog system sends continuous electrical information directly to the powered device which means damage to the wiring or water ingress could result in unsafe activation. • Watertight seals are never exposed, even in the on position, eliminating potential damage from sun and prolonged use. • Underneath each control button, two command switches must work in unison before a signal is sent. Integrated lighting provides low-light visibility.
Simple to install, easy maintenance
Adjustable stripper arm integrated into winch top for safer operation
Stripper arm completely covers rotating winch top, preventing fingers and clothing from catching in moving parts. Adjusts to multiple positions after the winch is mounted to optimize line exit.
High-strength, lightweight
High-strength composite roller and ball thrust bearings reduce friction under load. Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4 PH stainless steel for strength, corrosion resistance.
Maximum holding power for high-tech line
Sandblasted drums and ribs optimized for halyard and sheeting applications using small-diameter, high-strength line. Patented angle of ribs drives line wraps down when easing to keep them on area of drum that provides best control.
Power-grip jaws shaped for easy line entry, optimum hold
Narrow composite jaws ensure superior holding power on small-diameter, high-strength line Lower jaw adjusts under line pressure; accepts a variety of line sizes.
