The Harken 35.2STCCC is a manual, self-tailing, 2-speed winch with a radial chrome drum. Power ratios are about 13.5:1 in first and 35.9:1 in second, and it takes line from 8 mm to 12 mm. It weighs about 4.8 kg and has a base diameter of about 149 mm. It mounts with 5 fasteners on a circle of about 123 mm. Mounting bolts and winch handles are not included.
Our take
With power ratios of about 13.5:1 in first and 35.9:1 in second, the 35 gives you a fast gear for taking in line and a low gear for heavy loads. Self-tailing means one person can work a sheet alone, and the 8 to 12 mm line range sets what rope it takes.
From our buying guide
A winch's size number sits close to its top power ratio, though not exactly, and first-gear ratios vary more between brands. Each maker publishes its own sizing chart, so use the chart from the maker you're buying.
Check before you buy:
- It fits your existing holes, since same-size winches from different makers need not share a bolt circle.
- The self-tailing jaws take your rope, since they have a range.
- You have the right bolts. Harken does not supply them, and the makers disagree about countersunk heads.
