"Harken&amp;amp;rsquo;s Radial Self- Tailing Winches were designed for sailors who are looking for lightweight, extremely strong winches with plenty of power. The drum's gripping surface is shaped for each winch size and drum material and features diagonal ribs (rather than textured abrasive materials) to maximize gripping power and greatly reduce line wear. When easing, the angle of the ribs stops line from rising, preventing overrides and providing a smooth, controlled release as the line exits the winch.\r\n&amp;amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMaximum holding power with minimum line wear\r\n\r\nNonabrasive diagonal ribs on gripping surface hold line securely and reduce line wear; ribs shaped for each winch size and drum material\r\n\r\nSmooth, controlled easing\r\n\r\nPatented angle of ribs drives line wraps down when easing to keep them on area of drum that provides best control.\r\n\r\nHigh-strength, lightweight\r\n\r\nWeight savings of 25 to 50 percent compared to Harken&amp;amp;rsquo;s Classic winch line.\r\nHigh-strength composite roller bearings and bushings reduce friction under load.\r\nLoad-carrying gears and pins are 17-4 PH stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAdjustable stripper arm integrated into winch top for safer operation\r\n\r\nStripper arm completely covers rotating winch top, preventing fingers and clothing from catching in moving parts.\r\nAdjusts to multiple positions after the winch is mounted to optimize line exit.\r\nShaped to smoothly feed line in and out of self-tailing jaws.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPower-grip jaws shaped for easy line entry and optimum hold\r\n\r\nUpper jaw adjusts under line pressure; accepts a variety of line sizes.\r\nTeeth grip evenly with or without load.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSimple to install\r\n\r\nPatented mounting system for fast, one-person installation without removing drum.\r\nA. Snap off the skirt at the base of the winch.\r\nB. Slide bolts through the slots in the winch base and snap the plastic skirt back on.\r\nC. Place the stud bolts into the predrilled holes on the deck and tighten from below deck.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEasy maintenance\r\n\r\nSnap-fit design keeps bearings captive when drum is removed for maintenance.\r\nEasy to disassemble for service on deck; socket, washer, and screw-top snap-fit together for mistake-free reassembly.\r\nComposite roller bearings don't require lubrication.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPowered Options\r\n\r\nElectric: vertical-mount motors; horizontal-mount motors offered with right- or left-mount option.\r\nHydraulic: vertical-mount motor.\r\n\r\nEasy upgrade from manual to power\r\n\r\nManual winches easily convert to power using patented conversion method.\r\nNo adapter plate required; identical stud pattern to mount winches of the same size without drilling new holes in deck.\r\nA predrilled hole in deck by builder simplifies manual-to-electric conversion; removable gaskets offered to seal holes until upgrade is made.\r\n\r\nEnergy-efficient motors accomplish more work per unit to electricity consumed\r\n\r\nMotors attach to central drive shaft and drive through winch gears for two-speed mechanical advantage.\r\nLow-power first gear for fast trimming; higher-power second gear for fine-tuning loaded sheets.\r\nEfficient design allows smaller motor size\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nManual override In case of power loss\r\n\r\nHarken locking handle inserted into an unloaded winch automatically disconnects motor gear for manual operation\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHarken 46 Self Tailing Radial Winch Installation and Maintenance Manual"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
