2000 56' Ocean - Davit Crane

I have a 1000lb fully hydraulic Steelhead. It has been a vast improvement over the manual lift and rotation davit I had previously. My davit is on the bow and they put the standpipe support base behind the medicine cabinet in one of the forward heads. I was a little concerned when I first had the davit installed with how were they going to pull this off. But a crew of 2 did it in 2 days. Being in MD I don’t know who up there installs them but back a while ago UMT flew 2 guys up. It really was not a big haslle for them or me.

1996 48 ocean, marquit 1000lb on bow, 110volt power cable and boom, manual rotation. They run around 25k these days. Placement is key for getting to the center of dinghy and then over the side. I have seen them placed in the wrong location due to the closet location inside. Then it becomes a problem. Use a good quality yard for install. You can purchase it directly from marquip and shipped to your yard.
Go 500lb bigger if you can. The 1500lb 120" is sweet
Adding a wireless remote is a major bonus too
