Racing Pedestal
Drive Components
Gear Boxes
The bevel gear box is the basic building block of
belt-drive pedestal systems. The B606 gear box is
designed for up to a six-man, three-pedestal input.
The B701 accommodates up to an eight-man,
three-plus pedestal input.
Gear box housings are CNC-machined from a solid
piece of aluminum, Hardkote-anodized for strength
and durability. Gears, shafts, and rollers are 17-4PH
stainless steel and are lubricated in a sealed oil bath
for minimal maintenance.
Drive Shafts
Harken ® offers two types of drive shafts. Extruded,
splined, aluminum drive shafts may be cut to length.
Carbon tubular drive shafts are available with bonded
end fittings for U-joints or spherical CV joints. Shaft
choice is determined by load, cost, and weight
considerations. Your Harken ® representative can
provide details on the best drive shaft for your boat.
Disconnects
System disconnects can be activated with either levers
and control lines for hand operation, or a two-position
push button for foot activation. The Harken foot button
has fewer than 10 components, compared to almost 100
in other buttons, minimizing the possibility of losing or
breaking parts. Foot button tops come in red, black or
blue to distinguish functions above deck.
Support Shafts
To space and support a gear box beneath a winch,
Harken ® supplies tubes for the B606 and B701 series
gear boxes. Tubes are made to length from carbon fiber/
epoxy with bonded aluminum ends.
