Seiner Controls

April 17, 2023 by MM Travis

View from the deck (looking forward) on this seiner, from left to right:

  • alongside the cabin is a narrow walkway to get to the bow
  • the three rung ladder going from the main deck to the flying bridge
  • the orange hose is a wash-down hose that forces pumped seawater through, for washing the deck or fish hold.
  • (not shown on this boat) there is often a rain gear locker with hooks inside for hanging bibs, jackets, and gloves
  • the rusty-looking circle with the teal rope is part of the deck winch, used to bring the net in
  • the levers next to the cabin door are the controls for the power block, boom winches, wash-down pump and other gear
  • the cabin door: may be one solid door or may have two separate parts, upper and lower
  • the side roller is on the far-right and it’s used to bring in the net
  • hanging from the main boom is a rope-hauler. The winches attached to the boom are used to move the boom, using hydraulics
  • the aluminum hatches in the bottom, with a slider opening, cover the fish hold, below it
