We purchased a Zodiac YL340 tender for our 4788.With the chocks in the "factory stock" position the skiff hangs over the port side further than I like, and it also hangs over the cockpit more than I'm comfortable with.This creates a situation where the davit cannot be put into the "down" position.We're going to re-position the skiff inboard so that there is some clearance between the ourboard side of the skiff and the edge of the boat deck. This will allow the davit to be put "down" and tensioned against the ring as was intended by the factory.Moving the skiff puts it just about right at the edge of the flybridge-cockpit access, requiring removal or serious modification to the rail system, both on the aft section of the boat deck and the cockpit-flybridge access.My first take is to remove this railing completely and fill in the screw holes (I would leave the starboard side railing you can see in the photos). Same thing with the boat deck port side railing. Its down all the time to get ther skiff on and off the boat anyway, so why have it there?What do you guys think?Also, on the davit, is there a "down" position where where you can put the pin back in place?Here's some photos of how we want to position the skiff.Thanks!
