[C320-list] Dinghy Davits

[Edward Thompson]

My wife and I installed Garhauer Davits two years ago on our 2000 year c320 and I highly recommend their product. They offer a few different models based on the size of your boat and weight that you want to carry. We ordered the DD 1 1/4" in the tall configuration which has worked out very well. The installation is not very hard but does require drilling 6 holes in the transom steps to attach the vertical support tubes and to cut the tubular stainless steel cross bar to the width necessary for your installation. I purchased the davits at the Annapolis boat show and got the "boat show discount." I suggest contact Mark Felgenhauer at Garhauer - (909) 985-9993. He is very knowledgeable and helpful to us. Good luck and let me know if I can provide any additional information. I believe I have a few pictures which I will try to send.

Anybody recently installed Dinghy davits on their C320?  Just starting to look around.  Ours is 1998.
What brand names Gauher others?? part numbers even better...  Catalina Direct have options?
Have not looked at our local marina to see what they would recommend or do......
I know the pros and cons.  May do some long range cruising in the next couple of years and evaluating davits.  Admiral doesn't like towing dinghy.  More pros than cons right now but open to thoughts..... Thanks, Scott Westwood scottwestwood at bellsouth.net H (919)-362-8538     C (919)-618-7185
