Dingy davit tests with old dingy in San Diego - 2012

San Diego July 2012
Debbie lowered the outboard down to me with the motor lift.
We have started to do some dingy tests with our used dingy. 
We put the Mercury two stroke 4hp outboard on it and then hoisted the dinghy on the davits. We relocated the lifting points on the bow of the dingy and tried it again.
Doing this while standing in the dinghy was a real challenge 😣
 We tried to reverse the blocks but one we think we need to re-thread so the line comes out inside the davits more for a better flow when pulling up the dingy.
This is at least an 11' dingy.
 It seems that this would be an every day thing while cruising. Pulling up the dingy and then locking it.
