Because of the dinghy so high that you need not worry about waves filling up the dinghy
and have heard from other sailors that they had problems with dinghy on davits sitting much lower filling with water from waves and than ripping the dinghy off the davits.
My dinghy does ride lower on my davits so I can see over out the stern and can also see the stern light from the rear.
When sailing off shore I remove the 8hp and do tie down the dinghy so it does not move around and not shaking at all.
