To remove the drum, pull back the spring-loaded release latch, and a slight anti-clockwise rotation will allow the self-tailing arm to be lifted from the winch. From there, the drum can be removed from the winch's center stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen completing reassembly in reverse order, an audible click confirms positive engagement between the self-tailing arm and bayonet notches on the center stem.

The ribbed, non-abrasive surface helps reduce the number of wraps needed around the drum, lowers the load held in the self-tailer, and helps prevent riding turns. It also supports smooth, controlled line handling while helping minimize wear on running rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Orbit winch is designed for convenient maintenance without tools. The drum and self-tailing arm can be removed and reassembled using the spring-loaded release latch and bayonet-style center stem connection. The self-tailing arm locks into one of eight positions at 45-degree rotational increments, allowing the arm to be positioned for practical line handling on deck. Sprung self-tailing jaws accept 6–10 mm line for reliable use with compatible running rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Ribs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides controlled grip while tensioning or easing and helps reduce rope wear and riding turns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-free servicing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows full disassembly and reassembly without tools for convenient configuration and maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight alloy construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a hard-anodized aluminum drum and center stem with an aluminum self-tailing arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-tailing line handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprung jaws accept 6–10 mm line for practical sailboat winch operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition-adjustable arm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Locks into eight positions at 45-degree increments to support flexible installation and use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProven gearing configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a 2.7:1 first-speed gear ratio and an 18.3:1 power ratio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ronstan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20ST Orbit 1 Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e RA6201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinch type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-speed self-tailing sailboat winch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.75 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.72 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrum diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.95 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.88 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine entry:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.65 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible line size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24–0.39 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum pulling load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,212.5 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard-anodized aluminum drum and center stem, aluminum self-tailing arm, Grade 316 stainless steel shaft and pawls, Grade 2205 stainless steel axle pins, aluminum bronze gears, glass-filled nylon self-tailer, and self-lubricating acetal bearings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Ronstan RA6201 Orbit 20ST for lightweight, controlled, and serviceable line handling on compatible sailboats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEO Meta Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ronstan 20ST Orbit 1-speed self-tailing sailboat winch with Power Ribs, tool-free servicing, lightweight aluminum construction, and 6–10 mm line capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstyle\u003etable.productattributes, .productattributes td { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 2px; text-align: left; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTruck Freight: No\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOversized: No\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOwners Manual Url: https:\/\/productimageserver.com\/literature\/ownersManual\/99679OM.pdf\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ronstan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44937107963993,"sku":"99679","price":804.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/1818\/2489\/files\/99679XL.jpg?v=1789838727","url":"https:\/\/www.marinepartsonly.com\/products\/ronstan-20st-orbit-1-speed-self-tailing-sailboat-winch-ra6201","provider":"Marine Parts Only","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
