Hunter 34 Stern railing height ?

[Claude L.-Auger]

I have an opportunity to pick up a set of dinghy davits. Before I do I need to make sure they'll fit on my Hunter 34 so I need to find out what the railing height is. I seem to remember it is 24 inches high at the stanchion near the ladder, but I don't have the height near the stanchions closer to the sides of the boat or at the corner. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am probably going to drive to the boat tomorrow.. I will get your measurements if still needed..

Thanks Kloudie. Do you have davits ? And if so what brand ?

my guess 30 inches won't be as good as the measurement.

Apologies, I did not get out there yet.. early next week is next opportunity..
I do not have davits.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to find a 34 here in Cocoa, Florida and ask if I can go measure it. I'll get back to you in any case. Regards, Claude

Claude, no matter the original height, be sure yours are tall enough to stop you from falling overboard.

This is one of those cases that size matters.

I have Garhauer DD 6-2 davits mounted to my 1986 H31. I've had them for 8 years now!
Great setup for my solar panel and occasional use for my dinghy.
Fantastic product and Garhauer support. Installation was a breeze. When mounting you always need a this or that and it was only a phone call away.
I'm having problems with my tablet but will try to send pictures from work tomorrow.
