Pivoting Davit System (6000) For Inflatable Boats - Manual or Quick Release
Designed to carry inflatable dinghy on swim platform of boat
This davit is the highest quality, easiest to install, simplest to use davit system on the market. Watch the video below to see how it works.
The manual release means you have a bolt and nut that connects the "c-rings" component to the base bracket unit that is mounted to your swim platform. The quick release means you have a quick pull-pin instead of the bolt. Either of these two options allow you to clear the davits from your swim platform for swimmers or when you are not using the dinghy the davits can be easily stored. It does require tools to remove the manual release as it uses nuts and bolts.

Watch this video that shows the davit system and stand-off bars in action. It also shows how you use rope tied to the davit c-rings loops to help you pivot the dinghy up when in the c-rings and secure the dinghy with those sames ropes.
Quick release with pull-pins shown above.
Need More Room On Your Swim Platform?
Need extensions to push your Pivoting Davit System farther outboard aft to give you more room on your swim platform? 18" Davit Mount Extensions offer you another 12" of room and are also convenient if you need to install the davit system on a swim platform with obstructions, ladders, hardware and other items that may be in the way of installation and use.

Quick release davit system showing the pull pins that mount the c-rings to the base mounting units. This allows you to quickly clear the davits from your swim platform for swimmers or when you are not using the dinghy the davits can be easily stored. The manual release system uses nuts and bolts where the pull-pins would be.
Pivot davit allows for great flexibility.
Davit pivots down deep towards or into the water for ease of use - subject to height above water of swim platform.
Large 17" diameter accommodates most inflatable dinghy yacht tender sizes.
All stainless steel high quality construction.
"The "kiss" approach to dingy mounting. "keep it simple stupid"....which is what you offer with the 6000 system."

"I would be more than happy to tell you and others how pleased I am with your davit system. I searched the web and looked at a few systems but none can compare to yours. The picture you see here is of my boat on the St Lawrence River this past summer. While we were up there we stopped at a place called Bold Castle. We were just getting ready to leave when a fellow boater notice my dinghy and it's davit support. I had him come onboard and even try it for himself. He was very impressed with it and to the point where he wanted to give me his phone number so that when I got home I could call him with your website. Lucky for him I keep all my paper work for the boat on the boat. I was able to give him all the information he needed to contact you. I can only believe he did along with a few of his boating pals. I will be contacting you because I need to purchase the standoffs for the dinghy. You really need to advertise more on the East Coast. I think your Davit System would be a big seller here. It's only a matter of time until I move up to a larger boat and I will be in need of another one of your davits. I'll be sure to call."
