I'm looking at having some davits made . I have a 10' dinghy with a 54" beam . I have transom door to work around on the starboard side . The dinghy has factory installed 3 pt lift system on 60 " centers . Because of the transom door I can only install the davits on about 40" centers to keep everything centered on transom. Should I use a spreader bar with shackles at 60 " centers on the bottom and 40" centers with two 4 to 1 purchase blocks to the davits ?Or do I even need the spreader bar ? Total weight with OB on will be close to 180lbs. Or should I find a good way to carry and load the dink on the roof top?
