The Installation Essentials

the dinghy lift systemEvery installation is unique in some respects, either the yachts are of a different configuration or the owners wishes for the installation are different. There are many essential elements that are the same however, and that is what this section is meant to convey.

Should every boater self install? Probably not but more than half of my customers do the job themselves. A complete set of instructions, with pictures, will arrive in the box with your Dinghy dumper. If it takes a day or two and saves you $1500 to $2500., is it worth it? It would be to me.

We use the Weaver Davits as part of our system. When you order, the Weaver Davits will arrive first as the dinghy must be attached to the swim platform before the rest of the installation can be completed. You can do this while your Dinghy Dumper is being built and in transit. Believe it or not, this is by far the hardest part of the installation, when this part is completed the rest is easy.


Brace for Inflatables
We include the Weaver Arc (rear arc) with all orders for inflatables. This is a brace that takes all the weight and pressure off the pontoon. If your dinghy and motor weigh 300lbs or more we also include the front Weaver Arc that attaches to the floor of the dinghy. (these can be viewed on the Weaver web site at www.weaverindustries.com.) The Weaver davits and arcs necessary for your installation are included in the sales price of the dinghy Dumper.

Swim Platform on Yacht
The Dinghy Dumper requires a minimum of 24 inches of swim platform (measured front to back), if your system requires the extended motor mounts, it will require require a minimum of 28 inches. If your swim platform does not have these minimums, it will be necessary to include the Swim Platform Extenders (these are not included in the standard price.)

The Motor Mount
There are 12 different configurations for the motor mount. We determine which one is right for your dinghy, outboard and yacht and that is the one you receive with your order. They all work as shown in the videos.

Installers Who Have Been Recommended By DD Customers
Although many Dinghy Dumper purchasers do their own installation, many of you choose to find a qualified installer. These are installers who have proven to be competent and fair in their work and pricing. If you have had your Dinghy Dumper installed by professionals and are pleased with the result, please send me information so that I may add their name to the list.
