Mounting of Garhauer radar tower

[crieders]

Where does the swivel plate get mounted on the boat?
Any pictures that anyone has?

If it's anything like the pole for their dinghy motor lifts, here are photos:

Do you have a backing plate on that?

[Stu Jackson]

No, none required.  It's only in compression, not even any shear load.  Just screws.

Stu, am I safe to assume that the lifting davit is easily removable?  I'm not sure I need it for a lot of our day sails but it sure would be nice for our overnighters to get the outboard off the bracket and onto the dinghy.

Stu, am I safe to assume that the lifting davit is easily removable?  >>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, it is.  There are just two things that go onto the boat:  the ring on the pushpit top railing and the "bulb" at the bottom of the "stick" that I have on the top of my coaming.  Just slide the tube in through the ring and down on top of the bulb, remove by pulling up.
