Harken offers conversion kits that allow you to transform your manual Harken winches into electric-powered ones. This provides several benefits, including:
- Reduced effort: Operate winches with ease, especially helpful for short-handed sailing or handling heavy loads.
- Improved control: Fine-tune adjustments and precise sail handling.
- Increased efficiency: Enhance performance and maneuverability.
Key features of Harken winch conversion kits:
- Compatibility: Available for various Harken winch models (typically Radial models from 35.2ST upwards and Classic models from size 44 and larger).
- Easy installation (in most cases): Kits typically include an electric motor, gearbox, control box, circuit breaker, and switches. Installation usually involves replacing the winch handle and connecting the electrical components.
- Multiple versions: Kits may come with different voltage options (12V or 24V) and additional features like dual-function control boxes.
