摘要

An outhaul device for fishing lines (2), mounted on a vessel (5) and arranged to pull the line (2) successively from a line store (3) and deploy the line behind the vessel (5). The outhaul device comprises at least one pair of wheels (4, 6) which can be rotated about their respective symmetry axes of rotation (8, 10) by means of respective drive devices, and between which the line (2) can be caused to extend, as it is pressed against the wheels (4, 6). The drive devices are controlled by a control device which is arranged to effect a regulation of the wheels' (4, 6) rotational speed.
