   I use the Garhauer davits as well and love it. I also mounted a 180W
   solar panel on them and have not had to plug into shore power for 3
   years. A decided benefit.

     Many here in Coronado use the Garhauer system . Great for the open
     ocean

     >> Just wondering if anyone had any innovative approaches to install
     mechanisms to carry an inflatable. We have tried perching it on the
     swim deck and carrying on the foredeck while sailing and also when
     we are away but neither is great so we just tow it and leave it in
     the water to gather critters. I would not want a full davit system
     that would overwhelm our 320, so am wondering about simple systems
     and something that would minimize cutting/drilling holes. I think
     this may have already been addressed in earlier chats, but just
     wondering.
