had the XL installed on a 43 Open. Worked well once I installed a block and tackle as Maxwell did. Used the transom grab bar as the base and I was able to easily get a 11 foot RIB with motor onto davits, bad back and all. But also similar to Maxwell when I was at full fuel and coming up out of the hole the dinghy would want to lift off the davits. Same backing off aggressively. Once I got the three point ratchet straps however I had no issues.

Now I rely on hydraulics instead of all that manual stuff and all is good.
