Typical RTIO employee response.. Too hard ?get a contractor in to do it. That keeps me in a job but in the long run raises the cost per ton and then people lose their jobs. When your mate loses his job you can blame yourself.
Bloody hell i pull my pots by hand, i dont belive anyone should be allowed to pull pots with winches it makes it to easy, kinda takes the sport out of plucking Crays from a box.
You are working with constant slip with a capstan, more turns, less slip. Especially with the highly polished s/s type. Want to see some real grunt, get as many turns as you can on the capstan on a hydraulic winch. It was our default action for snapping them off when all else fails. And Mandurah Matt, you can fuck off, sir . or are you using those plastic pots??
If you use heavy weights in your pots winches, are a god send, if you are getting on in age, winches are a god send, if you put your pots in water over 12 metres winches are the only way to go.

Do many long cable pulls
Do many long cable pulls with winches when you were a sparky? The more wraps the less effort required by you and the more useful the winch is.

More surface area = more
More surface area = more friction = more grip on the rope.
Fish! HARD!

If you want to see some
If you want to see some grunt, go for a sail on a large ocean racing yacht and see the power in those winches.....

Right on randell df223
If you use heavy weights in your pots winches, are a god send, if you are getting on in age, winches are a god send, if you put your pots in water over 12 metres winches are the only way to go.
Enough said
