HARKEN 1566 

Midrange Hexaratchet® Block - 76mm

Fiddle Blockswith 280 Cam-Matic® Cleat and Becket

Hexaratchet® blocks are lightweight, strong, and run exclusively on ball bearings for fast trimming under any load. They grip loaded sheets, yet allow line to be eased and trimmed quickly with complete control. A switch on the side engages and disengages the ratchet mechanism. The shackle can lock in either direction or can swivel to keep line from twisting. The Harken 280 Cam Cleat reverses for up or down engagement/disengagement. The cam arms adjust to change line angle into cam.

These ratchets feature Hardkote-anodized, PTFE-impregnated eight-sided sheaves machined from solid aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance. Free-rolling Delrin® ball bearings, sheave, and side plates are UV-stabilized with carbon-black additive for maximum protection. High-strength stainless steel straps reinforce blocks.
