Gear Boxes
The bevel gearbox is the basic building block of 
belt-drive pedestal systems. The B606 gear box is 
designed for up to a six-man, three-pedestal input. 
Gearbox housings are CNC-machined from a solid 
piece of aluminum, hardcoat-anodized for strength 
and durability. Gears, shafts, and rollers are 17-4 PH 
stainless steel and are lubricated in a sealed oil bath 
for minimal maintenance.
Drive Shafts
Harken offers two types of drive shafts. Extruded, 
splined, aluminum drive shafts may be cut to length. 
Carbon tubular drive shafts are available with bonded 
end fittings for U-Joints or spherical CV-Joints. Shaft 
choice is determined by load, cost, and weight 
considerations. Your Harken representative can 
provide details on the best drive shaft for your boat.
Disconnects
System disconnects can be activated with either levers 
and control lines for hand operation, or a two-position 
push button for foot activation. The Harken foot button 
has fewer than 10 components, compared to almost 100 
in other buttons, minimizing the possibility of losing or 
breaking parts. Foot button tops come in red, black, or 
blue to distinguish functions above deck. 
Support Shafts
To space and support a gearbox beneath a winch, 
Harken supplies tubes for the B404, B606, and B808 
series gearboxes. Tubes are made to length from 
carbon fiber/epoxy with bonded aluminum ends.

spinnaker retrieval system
Pedestal-driven, belowdeck carbon wheel ensures 
high-speed spinnaker retrieval. Optional carbon 
T-box brackets and cantilevered gearbox brackets 
hold gearbox in position belowdeck; customized 
to boat.
The 404 gearbox is designed 
for the TP52 Class. It allows 
for the power of as many as 
four crew members using two 
pedestals to be applied to a 
single winch drum. The 404 
is a small, light and highly 
efficient bevel box. The 808 
gearbox is designed for boats 
with four or more pedestals 
on board. It allows for the 
power of as many as eight 
crew members. Both the 404 
and 808 gearboxes are oil-
bath lubricated and have 
inspection windows.
