I understand the weight and storage issues of the PA's. To minimize possible injury to crew members while launching and retrieving PA's; a sling could be fabricated out of 1/2" rope and use of a davit hoist would eliminate back injuries. I recently purchased a hoist used by deer hunters for dressing out their game. It slides into the 2" towing receiver and extends above my camper shell. I use it to puit my PA on my kayak rack on top of the camper shell. Pivots 360 degrees and good for 300 lbs. Cost $100.00 from Sportsman's Guide. Did not mean to hijack the thread. bosco
