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 gear-
box 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.
