This is what the mount will look like with the foot ball attached. The plate will mount to the starboard side of the motor well, as low as possible. I have a stainless backer plate for the bracket, access in the starboard lazarette. Bracket probably overbuilt with 1/4" stainless, gussets welded for extra strength. Total cost for the bracket - $20 (not including the Garhauer mounts)

This is a stainless steel bracket I had made for the Garhauer Lifting Davit. I want to mount the davit in the motorwell of my 22' Cruiser so the davit is directly over the kicker motor. Problem is gas tank is directly under where I need to mount the foot. This bracket is designed to mount on the starboard wall of the motor well area, to hold the foot.

A Ram ball mount to hold my Optronics 1 million candlepower 12v spotlight. It is mounted with a stainless U bolt and RAM mount to the antenna. I can reach out the starboard side window and direct the beam.

Hand holds for the swim step. Three Harbor Freight aluminum caribeaners (99 cents each)with soft grip wrapped in yellow Rescue Tape for a watertight seal. A fourth caribeaner attaches the rope to the ladder. I will put a 6" float on the end of the line in the water for visual marking. Total cost less than $10.

This is a gutter mount Yakima rack that I had hidden in the garage. It came off an old Isuzu Trooper. The main bracket has padded rubber on the bottom and the metal brace is mar free as well. Snug secure fit.

Was able to tow Swee Pea using factory hitch. I changed out the surge brake actuator for a low profile Titan Ultra 70. Sweet.

Davit installed. I duplicated the same mount on the port side as well to give double duty to the davit. Thanks to Dr. Bob for his advice.

You can see that I mounted the Garhauer "wall mount" by through bolting with bolts supplied. The mount is meant to secure around a rail, but I used half of the mount as a backing plate.
