| Flag staff sockets: In many situations the ships flag staff will no longer fit into its socket when the dinghy is raised, for this reason we can provide an alternative flag socket.

This unit clamps to the Slip-On stabilizer. Fabricated from highly polished stainless steel this unit utilizes twin clamps to ensure no movement as the flag vibrates. We have 3/4', 1”, and 1-1/4” ID sockets. |
Flag sockets are also available for the SS100 fixed stabilizer
6:1 lift tackle:
Kato’s davits come standard with 4:1 lifting tackle that uses 3/8” diameter Dacron braid and Harken blocks. With today’s heavier RIB inflatables it is usual to upgrade to the 6:1 purchase on at least one of the davits. Bear in mind that one davit normally does most of the work – sometimes as much as 80% of the weight is on one davit.
Cam Cleats: These Harken® cleats are mounted on the outside of the davits, and allow one
person to pull both lines at once. This idea courtesy of Bob Hauser (Island
Packet 38) - thank you, Bob.
Solar Panel mounts:
Solar panels can be mounted above the davits provided you accept
that the davits will no longer be regularly folded in. We
have mounting units for both the SS100 stabilizer and davits
with the Slip-On stabilizer. Our tilting SS100 mounts
(photo), raise the panels 17-1/2" above the davits, allowing
easy passage down the transom without hitting your head, and
avoids the typical Bimini shadow.
