Is this dinghy davit hard to install?

This one is hard to answer as I have no idea of your skill level. More than half of our customers do self install, and most of them find it a relatively easy task. If you have a friend that can help you (some things that require lifting or holding things in position are hard to do by yourself), it is very doable and saves you countless dollars. The hardest part is attaching the dinghy to the swim platform, after that it is simple. Is it worth saving $1500 To $2500; professional installation usually runs between those two figures.

Can I purchase this dinghy lift system from a dealer?

No, we went to sales on the web site because this allowed us to get the system to you at a reasonable price. Costs of going to boat shows and dealer markups would otherwise be factored into the sales price. This gives you the best system on the market for hundreds or thousands less than any competitive product.

What is your warranty?

Check out our warranty, it is simple and complete. If you are not satisfied, send it back within 90 days of shipping and get your money back.

Does this dinghy storage system work for sailboats?

I hope some day to be able to say yes, but as of now, we have not worked out all the problems for sailboats.

Can I buy just part of this davit lift system?

In the early years of the program we tried with several customers who were sure they could make it work for them. It was not a successful experiment. All parts of the system are made to work together and compliment each other in ways that are not always obvious, therefore, we DO NOT sell “parts” of the system.

Do you have a list of installers if we choose not top self install?

We have some that are listed on the installation page, if you use an installer and are happy with the work that they have done, please send us that information so we can add them to the list.

Will the Dinghy Dumper work with dinghies having interior seats and steering devices?

The problem, if it exists, is weight. We do not recommend the Dinghy Dumper for dinghies with weights over 400 pounds. (By this we mean combined weights of dinghy and outboard).

What is the largest outboard that can be used?

Again, it is more dependent on weight than HP. Currently we have 25 HP outboards being used.

We deal primarily with 9 through 12 foot dinghies, we suggest you stay within the HP recommendations that come with the dinghy. Over powering can be dangerous.
