Large Wincher Pair
The Barton Wincher is a uniquely designed rubber molding. It can easily transform your regular winch into a self - tailing winch. This well - tested design has been loved by sailors for years.
When the drum is fully loaded and under tension, the Wincher grips the rope. As you operate the winch, it peels the line from the underside, providing a real self - tailing effect.
You can achieve cleating by locking the sheet into the ribbed central groove of the Wincher.

Using the Barton Marine Large Wincher Pair is quite simple. First, make sure your winch drum diameter is between 3' and 3.5' (76.2 to 88.9 mm) as this is the size the wincher fits. Also, the rope you use should have a maximum diameter of .47' to .55' (12 to 14 mm). When the drum is fully loaded and under tension, the wincher will automatically grip the rope. As you turn the winch, the line will peel off from the underside, giving you that self - tailing motion. To cleat the rope, just lock it into the ribbed central groove. For maintenance, keep the wincher clean and dry after use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. Check it regularly for any signs of wear and tear, and if you notice any issues, it might be time to replace it. These winchers are sold as a pair, so you'll have two for your setup.
