Has anyone got a set of deck mounted davits they don't want? We've got a Seamaster 25 and the prospect of getting access to the inside of the transom to mount a bathing platform is a no-no and we need to carry a tender for going down below Richmond.

Seems a bit OTT, especially if your mooring fee is assessed by overall length.
Can't you lash to the foredeck/ coachroof or similar.
Equally, I would have thought access to the transom of an aft cockpit Seamaster would have been quite easy?

I agree with Mike. Davits are a pain for many reasons not the least being mooring fees. Why not do as he suggests and just take the dinghy with you when you know you will need it and lash it to your coach roof.
You'd be surprised how many people who have sacked them
