🔍 Key Concepts

• Mechanical action of different davit types (which ones move by gravity vs. by manual cranking or screws) • How a gravity davit operates on modern lifeboat decks • Older, manually-operated davit designs like radial and sheath-screw davits

💭 Think About

• Think about which davit type uses a rotating drum or screw mechanism that you physically turn to move the arm outboard. • Ask yourself: which davit type works mainly by letting the boat roll or slide out on tracks under its own weight, with only control lines, not a crank? • Consider which davit names are associated with older, manually powered systems where you have to apply continuous motion, rather than just releasing a brake.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which davit relies on gravity and tracks rather than cranking to move the boat outboard. • Identify the davit type whose arms are moved by a screw or geared mechanism operated with a handle or crank. • Eliminate any option that is primarily free-running under gravity once the brake is eased.
