Aluminum winch handle Carbo® Grip&Go®

Overview
The Harken Carbo® Grip&Go® ball-bearing locking winch handle (Part No. B10HOT) provides quick, single‑handed lock and release for efficient trimming and grinding aboard racing and cruising yachts. The patented locking mechanism engages and releases by squeezing the ergonomically designed grab bar; release to lock securely in the winch.

Built with SpeedGrip handle technology and an independent swivel between the ball-bearing knob and hand grip, the handle enables fast trimming with one‑hand palm control at low loads and powerful two‑handed grinding under high loads. At 590 g (20.8 oz), the assembly pairs a fiber‑reinforced composite grab bar and main handle with an aluminum grip rod and forged aluminum handle insert to control bending stresses.

Critical corrosion‑resistant components include a black hardcoat‑anodized octagonal drive gear integrated into the molding for one‑piece strength and 316 marine‑grade stainless steel locking pins. Grip&Go is a registered trademark of Donald J. Steiner.
