This winch impresses with its bold, contemporary styling and the technical excellence Harken is known for. The winch features mirror-finished chrome drums with white composite tops, self-tailing jaws, and skirts to provide an aesthetic option on any boat. The gripping surface features diagonal ribs to maximize gripping power and greatly reduce line wear. When easing, the angle of the ribs stops the line from rising, preventing overrides and providing a smooth controlled release.High-strength composite self-tailing jaws and skirt save weight. Composite roller bearings reduce friction under load and don’t require lubrication. Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability.
