Harken 6234 45mm Aluminum Element Fiddle with Swivel Becket & 150 Cam-Matic What happens when Harken sets out to create a block for sailors who have always believed they didn't need Harken? The Element block. The name hints at its essence: everything that doesn't contribute to durability or strength is stripped away. The result is an economic block that does a Harken job. Element blocks introduce side plates that combine forged 6061-T6 aluminum and compound curves for strength. They are simultaneously contemporary and very robust. Element's design pairs the minimum amount of metal required to protect the sheave with a proven journal bearing. So, size for size, Element is priced significantly lower than Harken's previously least expensive blocks. Compare them to plain bearing blocks from the competitors, and you'll be surprised. Element: Harken design and engineering with the value-price.
