Harness the Power of the Sun
Solar Arch & Davits: The MSD Series is a heavy-duty, marine-grade stainless steel, modular system engineered for most vessels. Made from marine-grade stainless steel, the MSD series Solar Arch or Stern Arch provides robust, corrosion-resistant support for solar panels, dinghies, outboard motors, and other marine equipment.

Modular Solar Arch Saves Time and Money
Traditional arches often require removing, modifying, or replacing your stern rail before reinstalling it. This process can take weeks—or even months—and costs typically range from $15,000 to $25,000, depending on complexity.
With the MSD Series, you avoid that hassle. Thanks to our modular designs and smart mounting system, the arch bolts directly to your existing stern rail, transom, deck, or swim platform. No major modifications are needed. The result is a faster installation, at a fraction of the cost, and a robust offshore-ready solution.
Stainless Steel Construction
The MSD Series is designed to withstand harsh marine conditions. Marine-grade stainless steel offers greater strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. It withstands saltwater, UV rays, and harsh offshore conditions for decades of reliable use. Plus, stainless steel davits blend seamlessly with the stern rails on most sailboats, cruisers, and yachts, giving your vessel a more polished and integrated look.
Integrated Davits for Dinghies and Small Boats
In addition to solar mounting, our heavy-duty davits make lifting and storing dinghies or small boats simple and safe. They are adjustable and easy to install, so you gain maximum flexibility without sacrificing deck space. From transom-mounted setups to integrated solar arch systems, our davits are designed for both efficiency and convenience.
MSD Series Solar Arch Load Capacities
The MSD series ranges from the MSD-370, with a load capacity of 370 pounds, to the heavy-duty MSD-850, with a load capacity of 850 pounds. Each model supports solar panels, dinghies (except for the MSD-200), antennas, and other gear, while maintaining a sleek profile. Furthermore, its modular design allows you to customize the arch to fit your sailboat or cruiser perfectly.
Easy-to-Install
Installation is simple with our modular bolt-on systems, which typically require no modifications to your boat. Moreover, the DIY-friendly designs and clear instructions make it easy to mount our solar arch and davits quickly and securely. As a result, these solutions are ideal for both professional installers and weekend sailors. For more information, go to “Installing a Solar Panel Arch on Your Sailboat.”
