The Barton Marine Medium Wincher (Pair), part number 21 642, is a rubber molding designed to convert standard winches into self-tailing units. This product is suitable for marine applications where existing winches lack self-tailing functionality, aiming to enhance operational efficiency. It functions by gripping the line as coils climb the winch drum under load, with cleating achieved by securing the sheet in its ribbed central groove. This allows for single-handed operation of winches that would otherwise require manual tailing. The Medium Wincher is specified for winch drums with a maximum diameter of 70-80mm (2.76"-3.15") and accommodates ropes with a maximum diameter of 10-14mm (0.39"-0.55"). Weighing 223g (7.87oz) per unit, it offers a practical solution for upgrading winch capabilities without full winch replacement.
The Medium Wincher is designed for winch drums with a maximum diameter between 70mm and 80mm (2.76"-3.15"). It is one of four available sizes from Barton Marine.
This specific Wincher model is suitable for ropes with a maximum diameter ranging from 10mm to 14mm (0.39"-0.55").
The product is sold as a 'Pair', indicating that two Wincher units are included with each purchase.
The Wincher is a rubber molding that fits over the winch. When the line is sheeted under load, coils climb the drum and are gripped by the Wincher's underside, while the sheet is locked into its ribbed central groove for cleating, enabling self-tailing.
