I have Kato Island Model Davits. Our dinghy is a 10′ RIB and we keep a 8hp 2 stroke on it. Our davits are attached to the coming area and then supported to the back rail and with supports bolted to the rear deck. See attached photo of davits without dinghy. Agree that the davits present significant lever forces.
Suggest you reinforce and use substantial backing plates.
