Harken Winch Service Kit - Pawls and Springs

It is recommended to service your winches at least once before the start of the season. However, if your boat is kept in salt water, it is best to service them twice a season. If you are a competitive racer, you may want to consider maintaining your winches before every regatta. To ensure they are functioning properly, keep your winches clean and regularly flush them with fresh water.

Inspect the pawls, springs, bearings, gears, and spindles for any signs of wear or corrosion. For radial winches, the recommended fits are 2-speed: 15 - 70.2, Rewind, UniPower. For performa winches, the fits are 20. For classic winches, the fits are B6 - B980. For custom or racing winches, the recommended fit is 1000.3. There should be 10 pawls and 20 springs in place.

By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure that your winches are in good condition and operate smoothly when you need them. Regular servicing and cleaning will help extend the lifespan of your winches and prevent any issues while out on the water. Remember to always prioritize the safety and performance of your boat by keeping your winches well-maintained.
