Hello everyone, does anyone have any experience fitting davits for a Sun Odyssey 389? It’s of course got a full width bathing platform. We are considering whether or not there is a way of using some form of snap davits, or we have to install full crane-type things.
Thanks so much.
Tom

Hello tomsis
I installed a custom made davit on my 2017 SO 389. I have an 8ft. Highfield dinghy with a 4HP outboard on it. It’s made from stainless steel with foldable arms.

Hello tomsis
I couldn't attach an existing photo because of the 1MB attachment mxm. I will take a low res photo of the davit today and post it for you.
cheers

We have a Kato Marine Island model davit system on our S.O. 389 and are quite happy with it. One option that we like is the crossbar that ties the two legs together and restricts side to side movement. This bar is equipped with removable pins that allow you to have the legs move independently if required.
