Harken "Radial" Self-Tailing Chrome Winch, 40.2STC

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.

• Diagonal Ribs Increase Grip
• Minimize Line Wea
• Radial drum pattern performs as well with high-tech lines as with older cordage
• Lightweight/high strength/corrosion-resistant materials - composite self-tailing jaws, skirt, roller bearings, and bushings
• Aluminum drum models provide additional, substantial, weight savings
• Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability
• Snap-fit design of roller bearings keeps bearings captive in a Delrin® cage when the drum is removed for maintenance
• Winch tops are completely covered, so fingers and clothing don't get caught in moving parts
• Snap-on/off-base skirt allows for easy one-person installation, without having to remove the drum
