• HPU provided with a high pressure filter, mounted and plumbed to protect proportional valve

• 24VDC power supply mounted and wired to the HPU in a NEMA 4 enclosure that will be prewired with an appropriate amount of cable

• Contains a marine grade proportional controller that will be mounted at a place of convenience on deck.

• Technical manual (one paper copy and PDF)

Winch Specifications:

• Pullmaster PL2 Winch or approved equal

• 2000 lb. line pull single parted

• Winch includes fittings, gear oil, primary painting and weldable steel subframes

• 150 feet of line capable of 2,000 lb single line pull

4.5. Disassemble and remove necessary portions of the existing storage shelf in the Forward Scientific Bosun Stores Room (1-4-0) to make room for the new HPU foundation. Modify the storage shelf as necessary to retain the lower shelves.

4.6. Relocate the Forepeak Tank TLI to the adjacent angle iron stiffener for the Chain Locker.

4.7. Open and gas free the Chain Locker (2-5-0) for hot work. Note that anchor chains will remain in place for duration of work.

4.8. Fabricate a new steel foundation in the Forward Bosun Stores Room on the main deck to support the new winch HPU. The foundation shall be of adequate strength to support the HPU in rough seas. Recommended location for planning purposes is on the port side of the Chain Locker adjacent to the forward bulkhead.

4.11. Provide and install three (QTY 3) Schedule 80 316 stainless steel pipes from the HPU control valve to/from the Main Deck penetrations for hydraulic hose connections. The pipe deck penetrations shall go through 316 stainless steel pipe collars. The collars shall be welded to the deck, top and bottom, and the pipes shall be welded to the collars, top and bottom. Deck penetrations shall extend a minimum of 6 inches above the deck before the first fitting. All welds shall be continuous welds to make watertight.
