The
Harken wire rope block is a compact and sturdy block specially designed for guiding wire ropes and small lines. Thanks to its precise roller bearings, the pulley runs particularly smoothly - even under recurring loads.
The block offers a solid and durable design that reliably transmits force and ensures clean line guidance. Its compact design makes it ideal for small trim applications and wire rope guides on dinghies, sports boats and yachts where space and weight are important.
Features:
Compact wire rope block with smooth running
Low-friction roller bearings for efficient power transmission
Robust and durable design
Suitable for wire ropes and small lines
Ideal for trimming applications with limited space
Cleaning and Maintenance of Blocks:
- Rinse blocks regularly and thoroughly with warm fresh water to remove salt and dirt (carefully assist with a soft brush if necessary).
- For heavier soiling: Soak the block in warm fresh water with a little dish soap and move the rollers (do not use harsh cleaners).
- Avoid pressure washers, as water and dirt can be forced into the bearing.
- Allow to dry thoroughly afterwards to prevent corrosion.
- Lubricate only when necessary and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Note: Many modern bearings are maintenance-free or self-lubricating – improper lubrication can impair their function.
- Disassemble only if explicitly instructed by the manufacturer, as not all blocks are designed for maintenance or disassembly.
