Self Tailing Winches

Harken Winch

Harken sailboat winches claim to be reliable, rugged and extremely efficient.

The sailboat winches come in a wide variety of sizes and in manual, or with hydraulic and electric drives.

Harken self tailing winches are very popular among the sailing fraternity.

Harken suggest you should service your sailboat winches at least once during the pre-season.

However, if your boat lives in a salt water environment, where the seasons are longer, servicing your winches twice a season is best.

If you race your boat hard, you may want to maintain your sailboat winches before every regatta. The more often you service your sailboat winches, the faster you become.

As handy as a rooftop cargo box is there comes a time when you will want to remove it from your rack - but what do you do with it then? The whole idea of a cargo box is to save space, so why create clutter in garages or workshops by haphazardly leaning it against a wall and taking up precious shelf space, or even worse taking the chance of misplacing accessories. A better idea is to rise above the clutter with the Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift.

This substantial weight allowance ensures that it can be used with virtually any cargo box on the market. Even better, the fact that the four rollers included can be installed at virtually any reasonable lengthwise distance means that the 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift can be used for all sorts of other items, such as canoes, kayaks, surfboards, sailboards, ladders and more. Regardless of what you are storing though, once you are ready to use it again, the simple crank feature of the 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift allows you to lower it right back onto your roof rack - simply pull your vehicle under the lift, lower your gear and secure it. Within minutes you will be ready to roll, fully loaded.

Installation

The Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift is designed for installation in wooden or concrete ceilings. Its low installed profile allows for enough space for vehicles to be parked under it, assuming enough existing vertical clearance for that vehicle with a roof rack and cargo box. The lift utilizes four rollers, one at each corner, with the worm gear with central crank drive shaft centered between them supported by three heavy duty brackets installed into the ceiling. Along with the included rope, this creates a pulley system driven up or down with the included hook-based hand crank, which can be removed and stored when not in use. The maximum recommended distance between rollers paralleling the drive shaft is 39" (1,000mm) and the optimal distance between rollers lengthwise is half the length of the object to be lifted and stored. This flexibility in roller placement allows for lifting of longer items like kayaks, surfboards, paddleboards, ladders, etc.

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulen, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
