Harken Non-Captive Bearing Big Boat Traveler Car Rebuild Kit

The Harken HBB197 Non-Captive Bearing Big BoatTraveler Car Rebuild Kit contains the parts necessary to service most Harken traveler cars manufactured before 2009 will have non captive bearings.

Service Travelers at Regular Intervals

• Service is required after storage, when cars have had too much friction, or if balls seem to be sliding instead of rolling
• Flush with fresh water and detergent, move cars back and forth to circulate the balls, and follow with high-pressure water
• Clean track grooves and then use a single drop of Mclube OneDrop™ Ball Bearing Conditioner in each ball race
• If bearings are damaged use a Traveler Car Rebuild Kit which includes replacement bearings and end caps*

Notes:

• Please use the above PDF as a guide in helping to determine which traveler car you have
• There are no numbers on the cars, so the ID will have to be made by looking at the measurement across the top of track and viewing a cross section of the track to make sure it does not have a groove for a bearing retainer
• Most Harken traveler cars manufactured before 2009 will have non captive bearings
• Once it is established whether or not it is a Non-Captive traveler car then determine which size track by measuring the width across the top of the track:
  • 7/8" Track Top Width = Small Boat - Use Kit #HSB501
  • 1-1/16" Track Top Width = Midrange - Use Kit #HMR99
  • 1-1/4" Track Top Width = Big Boat - Use Kit #HBB197
