Fixed and telescopic davits

What is the difference between fixed davits and telescopic davits?

Fixed davits are more robust and suitable for heavy loads, but they take up more space. Telescopic davits are more versatile and can be retracted when not in use, but they have a lower lifting capacity.

How do you install boat davits on a boat?

Installation varies depending on the model and the boat's structure. In general, it is necessary to secure the davit to the deck with bolts and backing plates. It is advisable to rely on a professional for safe installation.

Which material is most suitable for a davit in a marine environment?
