For passages the dinghy goes on the deck. The davits are for coastal and pulling the boat and motor up at night. I also have it rigged so I can drop the inside edge of the dinghy down and pull up the outside edge so it stands upright on its side and is secured to the arch that way. That is what I do if the weather builds while I have it on the arch.

The one electric winch can be done mannually as well but I have four winches and parts kits for them. I have not heard of them being a problem, have you?
