Pewaukee, WI—Harken has added a third speed to its new line of hydraulic pumps, taking the two-speed technology used by today’s Grand Prix racers to the next level. By adding a third speed, oil quickly and efficiently pushes through the system, reducing pumping time and allowing the user to conserve energy. At preset points, the pump automatically shifts to the next speed. Shift points can be adjusted to suit crew strength and sailing style. Pumps were thoroughly cycle-tested in the Harken lab before being put through their paces on champion Grand Prix racers around the world. Complete Press Release
