The Barton Marine Triple DO 550 Rope Clutch is a high-performance, three-line control unit designed for demanding marine environments. Built from lightweight, impact-resistant plastics with marine-grade, anodized aluminum cams and bases, this clutch provides reliable line management while remaining gentle on your rigging.

Key Features:

• True clutch mechanism allows line adjustment in the closed position with minimal slippage.
• Positive handle lock ensures security, with an ergonomic design for easy operation in cold or wet conditions.
• Specially tempered teeth on the aluminum cams maximize grip while reducing line wear.
• Integrated stainless steel fairleads at entry and exit points prevent abrasion.
• Modular, bolt-together construction simplifies maintenance and replacement of individual parts.
• Customizable handles feature removable inserts, available separately for cruising or racing configurations.

Fitting Recommendations:

• For optimal performance, mount approximately 1 ft. (300mm) forward of the winch to ensure a straight vertical and horizontal lead.
• Use deck organizers forward of the clutch to achieve ideal alignment and prevent side-plate wear.
• Secure with bolt-through fastenings using appropriate sealant; a drilling template is included on the product packaging.
