Rex, I've seen it done both ways. Do you have a stern gate? If so, I'd recommend the stern.
You want it in a place where, in an emergency, it can easily be deployed and boarded from the deck. The stern is also best in case the boat turtles quickly. It's easier to swim down and detach/deploy the raft from there instead of swimming to midship underwater. All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.

The way I see it, I can either mount on a cradle in front of the companionway (may block visibility from helm) or on the stern rail. Anybody have experience in this? Opinions?
