Hey all, I have a Marquip 1000 lb davit that has a winch that is not sufficient for the 13 whaler we have. This winch is the type that you would put on the front of a 4x4. I have done some research and was told this Davit used the GOLO hoist as a standard. I purchased a used GOLO hoist, which I expected the Davit would be ready to accept. This was not the case, the opening in the side of the Davit was too small. Marquip has not been very helpful, as they tell me, If I open up the hole in the side of the davit, I will weaken it too much..

I am confused, if the information on the Marquip web site still references the GOLO hoist, how would this davit be compromised?

Does anyone out there have this davit with the GOLO hoist? I would appreciate any information.
A photo would be great..
