I realize this might only apply to a small amount of users, those with a swim platform and rear opening transom, but fro around $100.00 for the winch and then figuring a method to power it.
I suppose it could be done, I imagine one could even use a 110 Volt AC winch and attach a long enough cord to reach the helm area AC outlet.
I mean how often would you use on a day to day basis, probably just whenever you were loading the dinghy, so open the transom, pull out your cord, connect the winch to the dinghy, and press the button to pull the dinghy up into the davits
Well it is just an idea :huh:
Ok, whether they are Hurley davits, some other brand, or these,
Nautley
I have read some comments about the weight and the problems loading some of the dinghy's, so why could one not install inside their transom, those that have a rear opening transom door, a small 12 vdc operated winch?
