You're correct, Hurley.
Good suggestions. I'll look into the resources link. Yes, my 46 Unifilite afterdeck resembles the Pacemaker 46, except that it is a hard enclosed pilothouse. But the davit mounting challenges would be similar - no aft rail to mount the davit.

You might have to tilt the motor up to keep its lower unit out of the water when underway. Having it that close to the water would make me nervous in any kind of following sea. I chose a system that keeps the dinghy in its normal attitude, with the motor down. Mine is a lightweight system from Forespar because my boat & motor weigh less than 300 pounds. The whole setup is mounted to the transom, and the davits can be rotated or removed when the dinghy's in the water. http://www.forespar.com/products/boat-nova-davit-lift.shtml Your 46 is an aft cabin sundeck boat, right? Just like the Pacemaker 46? Davits that mount to the afterdeck would get the dinghy well out of the water. I searched Yachtworld and found just one pic of a 46 Pacemaker with a dinghy - it's the last pic in this listing: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1977/PacemakerTricabin-Moto...--2547129/Seat tle/WA/United-States#.UkIxYtLrxFs The total weight of the boat, motor & gear will be the determining factor, regardless of what type of davit you decide on. If it's fairly light, maybe this would work: http://www.davit.com/removabl.html There are lots of choices, and lots of vendors.

Any recommendations from happy satisfied owners? Does anyone have the Harley Davit system? It looks nice, but I don't know anyone with experience with this system. I like the fact that the engine stays on the dinghy. Removes the hassle of wrestling with my 9.9 HP O/B. Any help greatly appreciated.
