I use the original Harken car, but I have increased the purchase to 4:1. If you have the 1984 Harken big boat car, Harken actually recalled it (I think because the shackle was weak). Harken told me at a boat show that the recall was still open, so if you remove your car and send it to them, they will send you the new one. The new car has a forged shackle instead of a stamped shackle. The new car will accept Harken's "stand-up" shackle as a direct replacement. It will also accept Harken's double control line blocks, which can give you 4:1. I did not want to go to the trouble of removing the car for all this, so I drilled and tapped the car for the double blocks while it was on the track. It has worked fine for 4 years now. |
