A complete re-design from the deck up, Radial winch gripping surfaces are specifically engineered for each winch size and drum material. They feature diagonal ribs to maximize gripping power, while greatly reducing line wear. When easing a line, the angle of the ribs stops the line from rising, thus preventing overrides and providing a smooth, controlled release as the line exits the winch. Because chrome is more slippery than aluminum, the ribs on chrome radial winches are spaced closer together to increase friction.
Seasonal maintenance is now exceptionally easy - the top lifts out as a single unit, making reassembly quick and mistake-free. Composite roller bearings reduce friction under load and don’t require lubrication.
