You're probably right. It would be difficult, if not impossible.

The Seawise is the only system I know which allows you to continue to exit and enter from the swim step - at least on one side. This has been a great help to my crew (wife) who can stand on the swimstep when we come into one of the newer low riding concrete docks. I also had a bow thruster installed which helps me stay next to the dock while she leisurely ties us up. I only use it when I have to since I consider it a cop out to good seamanship. Incredibly helpful sometime however. Good luck. On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Doug Thomas <snazz...@gmail.com <javascript:> > wrote: 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. Here's a resource: http://www.top20sites.com/top-davits-sites Good luck!

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.
