Hi Davefortey, did you ever get this sorted? My brother in law has just given me a liferaft and cradle (I have to get the raft serviced). I have a recently purchased Bavaria 34 Cruiser. Like you my push pit is too small for the cradle and a valise is too heavy to get out from the bottom of the big cockpi locker. I’d be very interested in your solution 🙂
