The traditional solution has been to use cams on swivel bases which will face the crew in any position, but for minor controls swivel bases are heavy and expensive.</p>

These accessories are specifically designed to allow lines to be released and engaged, even when the pull is at a severe angle to the cam. Harken offers two cam fairleads. The 375 fits the 150 Cam-Matic. The 476 is designed for the 468 and 471 cams. Both fairleads feature a tough fiber-reinforced plastic body that is low friction and chafe resistant. The carefully designed entry shape encourages lines to enter the cam with only a slight downward force on the line and operates well at angles approaching 90 degrees. The polished stainless steel guide posts prevent line wear and are very low friction.</p>

This is ideal for controls on modern boats where crew move from the cockpit to a trapeze or to the weather rail, yet the weight and expense of swivel cams is not justified.</p>
