Tender Davit & Spare Prop Storage

[M&MArmenta]

Have two questions we are looking for help with, this is on 1968 flush deck MY.

Weight lifting limitations on a "J" pole type Davit for the tender - manually push out/pull in but has electric winch to raise and lower. I can get rating on winch, need rating on Davit pole itself.

I have heard Hatteras had installed storage points for spare wheels. Where was it?

Thanks in advance
Marcus

If the davit has tag, like mine, a photo might help someone figure it out.

There is no tag, if there was I would not need to ask. Photos of Davit to follow.

Still looking for info on Hatteras provided prop storage on board if anyone has insight?

Thanka

My spare props were stored, one on top of the other, under the master stateroom bed. Owned the boat five years before I ever found them. They were accessed from above, after removing mattress, and were held in place by copper straps. My guess is that they had not seen the light of day in quite a while when I pulled them out recently after a run-in with a log on the Wacamaw River.

No provision for spare props onboard storage from Hatteras factory on mine. Now store them stbd. rear of the generator room on the stringer. I have a port list and this helps balance.

Thank you both for info on prop storage. I was just hopping for a spot I had not looked yet and the discovery of a set op spare props that would save us some money! LOL no such luck!
