Counter weight system for boat.

Well after buying a boat with my diving buddy, the idea of having som more safety in the picture arose.
This is what we came up with(pictures) the locking mechanisme isnt in place yet but it is coming,

Any input from you guys would be apreciated

Re: Counter weight system for boat.

you might want to use pulleys instead of eye hooks to reduce friction.

Re: Counter weight system for boat.

--Its for getting a diver fast up from the deapth, in case of blackouts or other problems,during constant weight diving.

--Yes I noticed, we used it for the first time yester day, and with the weight of the counter,it became to much of a strain on the corner rings, and made the system really slow..

--But all in all, the line system,and the ability to hang from it during breath ups is really nice, we had a blast.. Ill post some more pictures of it in use,when i have the time.

Re: Counter weight system for boat.

I think that you have to take care with the distance between both ropes, a little current would stock everything and could be worst than nothing, but keep us informed on how it works, looks like an easy and cheap way to do it.
