Barton Marine Small Wincher Pair [21641]

The Barton Small Wincher Pair is a must - have for sailors. These specially designed rubber moldings transform your standard winch into a self - tailing winch. This time - tested design has been a long - time favorite among sailors. When the drum is fully loaded and under tension, the Wincher grips the rope. As you winch, it peels the line from the underside, providing a true self - tailing motion. You can achieve cleating by locking the sheet into the Wincher’s ribbed central groove. Technical specs: it fits drum diameters from 2.5' to 2.75' (64 to 70 mm), has a maximum rope diameter of .31' to .39' (8 to 10 mm), and weighs 7.13 oz (202 g). It's sold as a pair. Brochure (pdf) available.

Using the Barton Small Wincher Pair is easy. First, make sure your winch's drum diameter is between 2.5' and 2.75' (64 to 70 mm) and the rope diameter is within .31' to .39' (8 to 10 mm). Then, install the Winchers on your standard winch. When the drum gets fully loaded and under tension, the Winchers will grip the rope automatically. As you start to winch, the line will peel off from the underside, giving you that self - tailing action. To cleat, simply lock the sheet into the ribbed central groove. As for maintenance, regularly check the rubber moldings for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace them as soon as possible. Also, keep them clean to ensure smooth operation. And remember, this product is sold as a pair, so make sure to use both for the best results.
