Bali Davits

Does anyone have any experience using the Davit System on a Bali Open space Cat? I am considering purchasing one and the Davit system is different than most davit systems on a Cat. the Dingy seems to "tilt up" rather than getting lilfted straight out the water.

Anyone with any experience?

Re: Bali Davits

Yes, we have three Bali's in our fleet, not the catspace but 4.1,4.2 and 4,6. They all have a tilting system. I personally prefer classical davit systems. Every time you need to take out the Outboard with system particularly if yr outboard is 4 stroke. Secondly, althought they look pretty thick the tubes from outside , the thikness of the tube is extremely thin (1 or 2 mm) and if you make small mistake when hauling it, you will bend these tubes. Then it doesn't sit well on where it's supposed to. Unfortunately this isn't the only problem with Bali's , Catspace and 4.2 are manufacured in Tunisia and they are not made well to say the least. The rest of Bali's are made in France and they are significantly better.

Cheers
