Product Overview
Harken 57mm Carbo Air Fiddle Ratchet Block with Becket and Cam-Lock locking system allows the shackle to lock at 90-degree's. Carbo Ratchet fiddle blocks allow sailors to hand-hold loaded lines and offer balance between holding power and controlled easing. Lightweight Carbo Ratchets are available in 40mm, 57mm and 75mm sizes. All the Carbo Ratchets feature a recessed On-Off switch that is easily operated from either side. The 40mm cam-arm versions work in ratchet mode only. Commonly 57mm fiddle blocks are for dinghies and small keelboats. The 40mm, 57mm and 75mm Carbo Ratchamatic is adjustable for many applications and weather conditions. The load-sensing ratchet block rolls freely in both directions under low loads, then engages the ratchet automatically as loads increase. With 180 degree wrap, you get a 10:1 holding power.
