Mechanical Installation
6.1.1
Winch
As previously discussed in Section 2.0 System Description and Section 3.0, Structural System, the winch is
mounted on a wide flange I-beam base with the basic configuration and dimensions as presented in Figure 6-1.
The base should be positioned on board the vessel so that there is a maximum surface contact between the base
and the deck to maintain local load to a minimum. There are six (6) bolt-on weld-down brackets with thirty-two (32) sets
of 3/4-10 UNC 2-1/2-inch long bolts with nuts and lock washers supplied with the winch system. The configuration of the
brackets are shown in Figure 6-2. The suggested procedure for the winch installation is as follows:
1)
Attach bolt-on weld-down brackets (6 pcs) to winch base with 3/4-10 UNC
fasteners.
2)
Position winch using proper handling techniques (see Section 8.1, Handling
Techniques and Limitations)
3)
Weld bolt-on weld-down brackets (6 pcs) to deck. Note that the bracket material
is ASTM A-36 steel.
