We are considering installing hydraulic davits on our 2002 Monk 36 trawler. Does anyone have experience with the Freedom Lift product?

No direct experience with the Freedom lifts, but I just perused their
website and it gives me cause for concern. Most of the lift mechanism is
made from 6061-T6 aluminum. Fasteners are 316 sst. And most of the
mechanism is submerged or wetted in saltwater most of the time, along with
the hydraulic cylinders. I'd want a very long and strong corrosion
warranty. Perhaps these lifts are intended for freshwater use only?
