We recently installed a Garhauer Davit on Adventures Await. The davits are 1.25″ tubing and seem to be very stout. I spent some time this winter researching davits, and after talking with Mark from Garhauer Marine decided to go with them. We received the davits about 5 weeks after ordering them. Below is a short video we made showing how we did it.
Thank you for producing this, it was very informative. I am looking at the same system for my Beneteau 49. You cleared up several questions I had and now have contacted the manufacturer for more info.
Again, my thanks.
Cheers,
Cole Shelby
Glad it was helpful! I have found Garhauer very good to work with, and Mark Garhauer was especially helpful for me in getting the right fit.
Hope it works well for you!
