I have:
2017 31 CB with swim platform stanchions
2017 290 Rib (9'6", I believe)
Weaver davit grips (already attached to RIB)
4" up and out mounts with quick release brackets (Thank you Matt Murphy!)
2 Adjustable standoff brackets.
Couple quick questions for anyone who has DIY mounted these or has general info:
1. Who makes the FML (Ranger) RIBs? Is it zodiac?
2. Should I center the davits on the swim platform or offset? If I offset, it gives me a little bit more room on the side where we load on and off.
3. Can I add a weaver leaver or is there not enough space because of the stanchions?
4. Do I need more robust backing plate for the mounts or are the washers sufficient?
5. How far back from the edge of the platform should I mount the brackets?
5. Any other input before I get started would be great!
I'll probably have more questions, but this should get me going.
Thanks!
Bobby
