Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The owners of the trawler *Brewpeg* fabricate and install custom stainless steel davits to replace an inefficient centralized winch system for dinghy deployment.0:05 They use 65mm nominal bore, schedule 40, 316-grade stainless steel pipe for the davit arms, employing pipe miter templates to ensure precise, square cuts for welding.1:55 To manage the lifting lines, they weld custom D-shaped stainless steel plates to the ends of the davits, designed to hold shackles for external pulleys.8:49 The installation involves welding the davit arms to the boat's structure, a process complicated by high ambient temperatures that force the crew to work during early morning hours.2:11 For the lifting mechanism, they repurpose a 24-volt, 4,000-pound capacity winch originally intended for an engine room elevator project.22:41 The winch features Dyneema cable and is mounted under the roof for weather protection, with wiring routed through conduit to prevent snagging.23:42 The project remains incomplete pending the acquisition of a battery drill to finish mounting the control bracket.28:45
