This is an 8" hydro-slave hydraulic line hauler. These haulers come with a factory fitted, fixed ejector knife. They are perfectly fine for hauling rope for crab and lobster pots, but I want to use this one as a longline hauler. You have to make a counter-balanced, floating knife assembly that is very precise to eject longlines from the sheeves, without the hooks getting jammed between the knife and sheeve. Here I make and fit a knife assembly, so it will haul longlines fine. If there ever does get a hook or snood behind the knife, you just pull the knife down and take it out. No tools, and it takes seconds. Its very handy to have a welder and engineering knowledge in the commercial fishing game.
