Harken Radial Line winches have successfully 
balanced the need for a secure grip and line 
longevity with smooth, controlled easing while 
under load. Details sailors will appreciate: 
smaller winches that carry higher loads, 
stress-free seasonal maintenance, and 
one-person installation with easy upgrades to 
power. Nine sizes in multiple styles and finish-
es: aluminum, chrome, and bronze; 1-, 2-, 
and 3-speed self-tailing; manual, electric, 
or hydraulic drives.
High-strength, lightweight 
• Weight savings of 25 to 50 percent compared 
 to Harken Classic winch line.
• High-strength composite roller bearings and 
 bushings reduce friction under load.
• Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4 PH 
 stainless steel for strength, corrosion resistance.
Maximum holding power with minimum line wear
• Nonabrasive diagonal ribs on gripping surface hold 
 line securely and reduce line wear; ribs shaped for 
 each winch size and drum material.
Smooth, controlled easing
• Patented angle of ribs drives line wraps down when 
 easing to keep them on area of drum that provides 
 best control.
