My 1985 Ericson 32-3 has a 3:1 mainsheet which runs under the boom and down/back through the deck organizer to a winch on the starboard cabintop -- pretty standard I think. I'm interested in converting this into a 4:1 or 5:1. Thanks to @gfilipi, who directed me to Harken's mainsheet system...

Unsure if standard equipment, but a common upgrade for 80s and 90s Sailboats. Mk 1 was the original offering from Harken. The earliest versions used roll pins to fasten the foils to each foil connector. These early versions are difficult to service and frequently destroyed when removed. This...

Hello All, I'm thinking about buying a new mainsheet system for my Ericson 30+. The old (possibly original) mainsheet system is an old, pretty beat up Schaefer fiddle block with becket and cam with (2) single blocks on the boom. The (2) bails are about 3'-4' forward of the the end boom. In...

Ending my hijack of Mr. Bugner's Sea Hood thread I've put in about 6 hours of work trying to remove the 20+ screws in the old Schaefer traveler. I have just one more screw left in the starboard side of the seahood before I can remove the track and channel. That one is a bugger because the RT...

Updating my mainsheet to 6:1 purchase. Got a Harken 1546 Triple Block from http://www.secondwave.cc/Products/Sailing/blocks.html. Now looking for a Harken 1556 (3 in. Midrange Triple Block w/Hexaratchet and Cam) If anyone has one for sale or knows of a good consignment shop let me know.

Greetings .... this is my first post .... please be gentle .... Bought a '76 E27 last weekend in Newport, OR ..... it has the split cockpit (but the wheel has been removed) with the main traveler mounted on the cockpit divider. So the block will be at the end of the boom. One of the many...

Well it finally happened this weekend. As I lowered my jib it hung-up a few feet from the top and I noticed the twin groove aluminum foil had seperated and would not allow the jib to lower. This foil has been beat up over the years and it's now time to replace it. Got a couple questions for the...

Can someone tell me the best procedure for installing a harken mastbase block to my E27. I am routing the main halyard to the cockpit and require the block to complete the project. The part number is 1986 and can be found on the link to West Marine site below. I assume the proper procedure is...

Harken Block Repair? My Main Sheet Fiddle Block with Becket & Cam has a broken sheaves. See the pic, it's the upper sheaves. I have had a couple Guy's down at my dock tell me it would be cheaper to buy a new one that try to repair it. Well the new ones at this size are about $225. The...

Hello everyone. I have a complete lower section of a Harken MkIII Furler, unit O, 3/8" pin for sale. The unit is brand new, never used. It is, I think, 3 or 4 years old. Missing are the foil sections and the upper halyard swivel. The drum,toggle,lower extension with feeder slot are...

All, A funny thing happened the other day when Marilyn first hoisted our new main sail that had been fitted with a Harken AA Battcar System. Expecting the old friction load, she heaved into the halyard led aft to the cockpit only to fall off balance and end up sitting on the port lazarette due...

The boat we bought recently has a Harken furler (Model/Mark II), which works well. The manual mentions taking the drum apart annually or so to rinse the bearings and apply something like McLube dry lubrication, and to similarly rinse/lubricate the top at the masthead. I want to keep it in good...

I am in the process of trying to dissassemble the forestay to remove the halyard swivel so I can a. file out whatever is binding or b. send it off to the factory for same. Anyone done this before? Tricks? Advice? Thanks, Joe:esad:

Anyone know the size of the luff groove on one of these? I am at work doing what I do best, cruising the internet looking at boat related stuff and I dont know the size. Guess I'll look at harken's site. I am looking at some used sails at www.baconsails.com and wonder if they will fit in my luff...

Fyi - I just purchased a painful amount (in dollars per item) of Harken gear at Fisheries Supply in Seattle this afternoon. When I got there I discovered that until the end of June they are running a sale on Harken gear. 10% off on blocks and like items. 15% off on winches. Fisheries is...
