Abstract
In small fishing trawlers, the fishing gear is handled by hand and
the operation is very hazardous. A warping winch designed at
the Central Institute Fisheries Technology, Cochin makes the
operation of the fishing tackle in such vessels easier. The winch
consists of a worm-wheel, housed In cast iron housing — two
warp heads are keyed to the shaft of the wheel one at each end. The
winch is driven by the engine by means of V-belt and through
jockey-pulley-gear or any other clutch. The winch weighs 108 kg.
and. the cost of fabricating it (including the jockey-pulley-gear) at
Cochin is Rs.850.
