Greetings all,
I installed Garhauer marine davits on my H31 for supporting my solar panel.
It looks a lot better than the SS tubing and fittings that I was going to use.
A little background:
I needed a battery charger for my dual battery bank. I could buy a charger and plug in to shore power or I could INVEST in a decent panel, controller and proper mounting for the solar.
To me, it only made sense to use solar. Since I'm only weekend sailing at this point and I don't connect shore power to the dock during my absence, it was a win, win.
I haven't tried lifting or carrying my inflatable dingy, so I don't worry about weight. That really wasn't the intention of the davits anyway. I'll update this comment if I ever do carry my inflatable.
Three years and so far its been working out great!
Good luck
Mike
