    Terry,
    I was looking for one of those weights and found a davit dealer at a boat
    show that would sell me one for around $500 which was a lot more than I
    want to spend for a weight. I ended up buying a lead downrigger weight in
    a fishing supply store for a few bucks. I was going to drill a hole through
    it to thread the davit cable but it had a small wire loop imbedded on one
    end so I just attached it to the end of the cable with some s/s wire. Not
    as fancy as a chrome cylinder but a few hundred dollars cheaper and it does
    the job.

    Does anyone have a source for those nice chromed cylinders of heavy metal
    that are used to keep tension on dinghy davit cables
