[C320-list] Garhauer Davits

[Lamar Desmond]

Jeff thanks for the info; my dink (Auqa Dutch) has four lifting rings just
above the water line so hopefully that will be OK.

We been cursing for the week and after wrestling  the dink (even using the
spare jib halyard) upside down onto the bow (my wife refuses to tow it) I
really look forward to the davits.

Lamar,

   Ocean Marine suggests mounting them as you mentioned.  I didn't do that
however, given that the 1.25" Garhauer version are strong enough to not
really require that.  With the weights you mention, it'll do fine.  I had a
60lb outboard and a dinghy of about the same weight as yours on last year,
and it did just fine.

I'm making new hoisting straps this week out of 2" webbing and D-Rings.  Our
inflatable dinghy has the removable floorboards, and I have designed the
straps to pull the dinghy up tight against the arms.    I may write it up
and post it in case anyone else is interested.  By the way, if you're
mounting Transom U bolts on the dinghy, mount them down low, a little above
the waterline with the lifting rope/strap/cable as short as possible to
allow the dinghy to be lifted as high as possible, and to protect the
outboard motor from the large davit blocks and clip.  Be sure to angle the
dinghy and remove the plug so that the water drains out if it rains...

-Jeff

Did you get the pics. I only spend 1 hour a week on the home computer and
40+ on the office so I can do it from here better than home.
