A spring-driven reel is adapted to include a gear assembly, and a reel assembly operatively coupled to at least one gear of the gear assembly. The spring-driven reel can also include at least one spring assembly. The spring assembly can include a screw member and a non-rotatable nut moveably mounted to the screw member.

A fairlead assembly includes a frame structure having an opening therein. A pair of rollers are disposed on opposite sides of the opening. The frame structure includes a pair of opposed curved surfaces disposed between the end portions of the pair of rollers and defining a bordering surface of the opening. The frame can be cast as a unitary structure with the pair of rollers each rotatably supported by a support pin having opposite ends received in a first set of corresponding semi-cylindrical recesses in a surface of the cast frame. A clamp structure having a second set of corresponding semi-cylindrical recesses secure the support pins to the cast frame.

A winch, comprising: a main frame and a spool rotatably mounted on the main frame, a first end of the spool being connected with an uni-directional locking component, while a second end of the spool serving as a mounting end; wherein a uni-directional drive component assembled by a drive bracket, a ratchet, a rotatable drum, and a pawl mating with the ratchet, the rotatable drum is fixedly connected to the drive bracket, the uni-directional drive component is sleeved onto the mounting end of the spool via the ratchet, the ratchet is radially provided with at least one mounting hole, and the ratchet is fixedly connected to the mounting end of the spool by at least one fastener inserted through the at least one mounting hole. The present winch reduces assembly steps for installing the uni-directional drive component onto the spool, thereby making assembly more convenient.
