Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Wire rope diameter reduction | general marine practice is discard at roughly 7% diameter reduction from nominal, or per class wire rope inspection code - confirm against the maker/class rules |
|---|---|
| Brake lining wear | condition-based - renew before the maker's minimum lining thickness is reached; no universal figure applies - confirm against MacGregor's manual |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Anchor handling and towing winches on class-notated towing/anchor handling operations typically require an annual brake holding capacity test and wire rope certification/inspection records. Class will also want documentation of a load test after any major repair to the brake or drum assembly.
