    I have a Brower 1500 lb davit that has power rotate. It rotates super fast. Way too fast for my liking. I end up having to do a bunt of short spurts of rotation which seems like it's not good for the davit.

    Do you know if there's an adjustment to slow it down and how I can do it?

    Plan to call Brower in the am on Tuesday but hoping I can get an answer before then.

    Thanks

    The manufacturer or any good hydraulic tech should be able to add a valve to slow it down. Nautical structure did that to ours a couple of years ago

    Thanks. Was hoping there was something already there, built in, for this adjustment. Seems strange that it would spin so quickly.

    Our Nautical Structures has a two speed pump / power unit. But it is controlled through the remote. New value should be easy enough for a hydraulics guy.
