Hey group, I posted this over on the Facebook group and Nancy suggested I post it here too.
When I purchased my 28 it had a set of Edson Davits on the stern. My initial reaction was they they have to go. After having them and using them I decided they are great and they can stay.
Here are the details on my setup
- Dinghy - west marine 310 RIB Hypalon with double bottom
- motor- 6 hp Yamaha four stroke
- Davits - Edson ST 500 - https://edsonmarine.com/stainless-steel ... 500st-kit/
- C level Davit harness - https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?p ... id=3201285#
- custom fully adjustable lifting bar- sketch in photos below

Nice.
What is the total weight hanging from the davits?
(Dink, motor, fuel, safety gear, etc?)

I had a 3.5 Mercury 4 stroke @41lbs.
Probably 60 for the 6?
What is the davits rated for?

Re: Dinghy Upgrade - transom Davits
You are right, I stand corrected. 59 lb
The Davits are rated for 250. I guess I will
Need to not leave the fuel in the dinghy. And that will put me where I need to be

Re: Dinghy Upgrade - transom Davits
They probably engineered in a 50% safety factor, maybe..
I gave up on installing davits, using the big boat as a dink instead.
(We don’t take the dog along on overnight trips, no need for frequent rides to shore.)
