ABSTRACT:
Improvements in marine winching apparatus and method for use in conjunction with oyster dredging, shrimping, and similar activities in the fishing industry with regard to two, four, and five drum winches as used in the fishing and marine industries. The improvements relate to the overall compact compartmentation and configuration of the device, as well as new innovative improvements in the clutch mechanism, the split collar, wear plates, cleaves, shaft, and other aspects of the mechanism of the winch, which will vary depending upon the contemplated use. An exemplary embodiment and design for a winch specifically designed for oyster dredging, in which the winch includes a new and unique configuration, including the incorporation of a "dredge post" implemented in the construction of the winch for safer and more efficient dredging of oysters, is disclosed. Additionally, the present invention also contemplates an exemplary embodiment for a four and five drum winch specifically designed for commercial trawling such as that associated with shrimping and the like, which reduces the need for extra winches for monitoring test lines, nets and the like.
