- A how to video on repairing a Dutton Lainson B2500 boat lift Winch. The winch was winding up, but would not hold the boat in place. When the wheel was released, it would simply unwind rapidly, dropping the boat back into the water. This was the necessary repair. The parts for it were purchased from the Dutton Lainson company at www.dutton-lainson.com/product...
This should be in the sacred texts of dad hood as a pure example of recreational man. If the video archive is distilled it can produce leisuremans serum, an antidote against shrewd wives or lamenting children
Awesome, thank you so much! My winch is mounted exactly the same way as yours. From the DL website, they say this is incorrect, and that the cable should be coming from over the top of the reel to the load. Exactly the opposite of how both of ours is mounted. ?? I like how you did that over the water. I would have tried to hook up a pail or something underneath to catch my bolts! 😆. Very brave!
Cool Video, I'm building a winch for a multi Can Crusher, for Steel cans of any Size, plus to be able to fill those cans full of smaller cans & lids & still have the power to effortlessly crush them flat as a pancake, using half of a 3 inch thick log that I was going to make a table top with, but accidentally dropped it on pavement & broke it in half, because it had bark through the center weakening the center, but I should be able to crush up to 24x steel cans at once with the can crusher with a foot of clearance between the Jaws, when fully opened, the chains that work the jaws are good for up to 17,000 pounds for tensile strength, but there are some parts that connect the chain to the Jaws, that are only good for 2,000 pounds, but yeah, it should have enough power to do the job, this is helpful for giving me an Idea of how to construct my winch, I'm basically self teaching myself Mechanical Engineering, if I had a larger diameter log, I could crush way more than 24x cans at a time though, oh well. thanks by the way.
Ah, I love youtube. I exactly have this problem on my 7yr old boat lift with a B3500. The wheel happily spins up and down without breaking. I will have to order some parts and fix it. My marina wants to sell me a whole new one for $400.00. hahaha! I don't think so. Parts on D-L probably will cost me $20. Thanks for putting this video together!
Excellent video. Thanks very much
Tks for ur video. It helped
Thanks this was helpful.
There was nothing wrong with that winch apart from the broken spring . Everything else was working properly. The large hand wheel has its centre thread running FREELY on the centre shaft, As the large hand wheel is rotated clockwise, the large wheel moves in on the centre thread to compress the brake pads on the ratchet wheel which will rotate to pull the boat up, while the ratchet spring loaded lock engages as it should do when the large hand wheel stops,
To bring the boat down, the large hand wheel is rotated anticlockwise, this finds the ratchet locked and so the centre thread in the hand wheel is undone freeing the brake pads and hence the dropping load will back rotate the centre shaft till the brake pads are squeezed in, this time by the inner shaft and not by the large hand wheel, For that large wheel to be safer, it should be loaded on one side so that gravity will help it not to fully rotate so easily, This weight unbalance in the large hand wheel will make that winch safer. Also you did not lubricate the most important parts, and those are the BEARINGS especially the one on the cable drum shaft.
The additional bolt and spring and distance piece at the centre of the large hand wheel are merely devices which will not permit the large hand wheel be screwed back off its centre thread. YOu did wrong in screwing the large hand wheel with the bolt in the gears as that hand wheel should be free on its shaft to go in and out,
Basically , if that large hand wheel had an off balance weight it would have held that boat even if the spring on the ratchet was broken, provided that the system was well lubricated, I shall let the readers work out the reason why the off balance weight and gravity on the large hand wheel would help to cause it go in to squeeze the brake pads, I do wish that such logic would be presented in all our junior schools where the depth of what exists working in silence and unseen is even more elegant and beautiful than any vociferous statement uttered by all those vociferous professions which never guarantee any service they give. In modern times people spend more time being surrounded operating engineering devices which need absolute guaranteed logic, rather than being serviced by those vociferous emotional professions which never guarantee their services including, philosophers, poets, priests, popes, politicians, pilots, prostitutes, teachers, lawyers, surgeons, medical doctors, entertainers. People accept and are willing to pay handsomely for unguaranteed services from any of these emotional professions and other sentimental social services , but all people insist that all their engineering tangible devices must be guaranteed and what is more, they want them at the cheapest price while operating them without ever having any appreciation of the beauty and elegance of their true form and function. That is the modern life. We have accepted to become operators but not "comprehenders"! What is more, all engineering appliances we used, in and out of our homes are to be considered as being "engineered prosthetic aids" wrapped and operated by people, all born with a congenital disorder relative they jobs they need to do, and the speed they want to travel, No one goes around naked in his birthday suit, but all we wear is engineering related, including shoes and underwear and knives and forks and toilet paper. It is such a pity that most people who are so keen to be proud owners of engineering devices really do not know how they work nor appreciate their invisible beauty and wonders, all working in silence. Most people do not even understand what makes an engineer, but they are willing to respect all social professions who deal in emotions and sentiments and never guarantee what service they offer to the public, including religions. and politics and lawyers and doctors and pilots and teachers and so many more, This would make a nice debating motion to discuss at any university in any country,.
