My lovely wife will be bringing a dyneema tender crane rope your way to be replaced. The winch end was thread through a conical slot in the drum and spliced so the line naturally tightens into the "v". How the F##k do your guys get it out??

Hard to say without eyes on but can it all slide a little one way to the open part of the V......he writes thinking while DF's new boat will be corroding his brain he's not dumb enuff not to work that out...is he?
I have resorted to a knife on more than one occasion. Some crane mobs seem to have put the rope on the winch them the winch into the crane making rope replacement a near total strip down, the crazy muppets.
The odd one you push the wire/rope in to the hole and the end of it pops out somewhere else usually with a stopper of some sort on it.
Sorry not to be more definitive but cranes makers all have different ideas.

Its a Davco. Bloody good design for stopping the line coming back through, in either direction I have cut one side so the wife can bring the line in. I think I will have to try and hack the other side a little, then if that does not work I will have to dismantle to get the winch drum out, which is a pain in the arse. |

OK I spoke to my Davco man and he reckons it's easy in your face or you have to get on your knees by the hinge and find 4 bolts. Take those out and the winch will come out allowing you to swap the rope easily. You'll have one or the other. Good luck |

The line was wedged in with a little metal disk and I mean wedged!! Took a bit of cutting and pliers to get the last bit out.
Your nice staff have built me a new line and the wife has had some very nice chats with the team and picked up a few more bits for the boat, so many thanks, excellent service as usual.

Glad I have lads that can help. Hmmm...I do throw an eye over work in progress but never saw you pop up. Very stealthy |
