location of spurlatch

[lumpy bumpy]

someone must know where the spurlatch is

i beleive you may have the term wrong sir the spur latch is an electrical component that is used for latching the chassiy or drive in place that to me is a mechineist job any other trick questions you may have and if you were to look it up you will find what i say to be true

[lumpy bumpy]

Im guessing you dont own a boat then Shug .

[shugabear]

no sir i dont but on large vessels such cargo and ro ro that is what it is perhaps you can inlightn me on small vessels outside of my fathers fishing boat and a friends angler i have no experience of small crafts

[lumpy bumpy]

Actually Shug it tends to be the bigger the boat the bigger the spur latch. Now that must be a clue .

[shugabear]

perhaps it should yet it doesnt ring a bell although when i think of latchs on large vessels i think of embarktion decks and cargo holds and the deck latches they have :confused:

Ha Ha typical Aussie just cos were kicking ya butt in the cricket .

[welder/fitter]

An anchor winch braking mechanism; the latch is applied to the spur gear(s) to prevent movement of drum. Often, the latch is applied by a crank wheel.
That's my guess.

Near the waterline, at the bow is where one would normally find it.

Ha ha, I think you lost an appostrophie or two, you English talk funny too, in the cricket all your getting is "compassion" to keep interested so we can beat you more often later. Regards from Jeff.

It's a leather strap with what's usually referred to as a 'buckle', but maybe someplaces it's called a 'latch'.

Cripes this an interesting thread , would some one tell him what a fking spur latch if for fks sake.

Its not the thing what jams the windlass thats a paul.

What might help, is to spell it and pronounce it the same way each time it is mentioned ,--is it a spurlatch or a spur latch ?

Oh by the way is that a woman or a man in those boots, I already know the answer.

Is it Nancy or is it Frank?

[lumpy bumpy]

Of course its a woman , surely you recognise traditional Australian bridal wear .

[Frosty]

Fake spurs too, are they not supposed to be sharp.
