Easy To Use System

Powerful and Reliable Operation

Our dinghy davit system has a 650-pound lift capacity, making it powerful enough to lift various types of dinghies. Lifting power is supplied by a 12V or 24V DC hydraulic power pack.

Simplistic Design

The Hide-A-Davit cradles your tender securely when in the raised position, yet leaves the swim platform completely clear of hardware in the lowered position. Once lowered, the cradle arms make convenient places to dock your tender while anchored or moored, and can be used to aid in getting in and out of the tender while it’s in the water.

Corrosion Resistant and Low Maintenance

All hardware is made from marine-grade materials and mounted underneath the swim platform, with stainless steel used extensively for structural components. Standard cradle arms are powder coated aluminum with a stainless steel connecting elbow.

Optional DIY Installation

Contact us if you are an interested in discussing a DIY installation. Completing the installation requires installing hardware on the exterior of your boat below the waterline, and basic DC electrical and hydraulic system connections.
