If you park your boat in the water, especially if it’s in your back yard, instead of on a trailer or in a garage, I’m jealous."I dont even have a Garage! you can call home and ask my wife" CDB, Uneasy Rider
well its cold and windy here this morning 57 degrees but on the bright side the sun's out and no clouds...
11,000 LB Davits.... Each crane is rated for 6000 lbs... but derated a little for 316 stainless cable... it spends 98% of the time hanging on davits about 1 ft above high tide... it needed a few mods to the bow cleat and transom bows to do that but its worked for 6 years now so id call it good....
yeah prolly closer to 2x my boat full of fuel for each davit.... the weak link is the 5/16 stainless wire rope... the down riggers are 3/8 that I built... I have a nicopress tool....
Those soft close slides they put on everything now don’t belong on tool boxes. Great way to jumble the shit out of your small tools every time you open a drawer.
