Product Information
- The Hurley H30 and H30+ Davit Extension system is made of King Starboard (marine grade high density polyethylene), industrial grade fiberglass, and stainless steel components.
- All components are used for strength and longevity, and should not be altered in any way.
- The weight limit for the H3O with Extension is 400 pounds, and for the H3O+ (PLUS) with Extension is 725 pounds. Do not exceed these weight load limits.
Product Usage Instructions
- Read and understand all warnings and cautions provided in the manual before using the davit extension system.
- Ensure that the davit system is not used with any person(s) or possessions in the dinghy. It is not intended for that purpose.
- Do not attempt to operate the system while the boat is under power.
- Avoid placing the system in an area where the prop, outdrive, or any other mechanical part may come in contact.
- Remove the drain plug from the tender when it is on the davit.
- It is recommended to use a dinghy cover to prevent water from entering the dinghy.
- Do not drill holes in the davit extension or alter it in any way.
- Use only stainless steel hardware when mounting the system, and use a backing plate when applicable.
- Ensure that the dinghy is secured and tied down properly before transporting.
- Contact the manufacturer of your swim platform to ensure that it can handle the added weight of the davit system.
- Regularly inspect, adjust, and maintain the davit and other associated components to ensure proper operation.
- After each use in a corrosive environment, clean the system with fresh water to maintain its longevity.
- During installation, it is suggested to offset the extension on the swim platform so that the stern of the dinghy is more supported due to the weight of the motor.
- Determine the placement of the extension and ensure that the two blocks under the extension are pushed up tight to the platform.
- If offsetting the extension, one block may not have to be tight to the platform due to the curvature to keep it square.
- Ensure there are no obstructions underneath the 8 bolt holes where the system will be bolted to.
- Do not mount the system on top of foam decking.
- Use eight (8) 316 stainless steel 5/16 or 1/4 carriage bolts, backing plates or fender washers, and nylock nuts for mounting.
- Do not over torque the bolts. The length of bolts depends on the thickness of your platform.
- Square up the Davit Extension and mark each hole to be= drilled.
- Use tape on the surface to be drilled, then drill the hole through the tape to avoid scratching or chipping the surrounding surface.
- Generously apply 3M 5200 sealant to seal drilled holes.

Your Hurley H30 and H30+ Davit Extension system is made of King Starboard
(marine-grade high-density polyethylene), industrial-grade fiberglass, and
stainless steel components. All of
these components are used for strength and longevity. Do not alter in any way.
Planning the installation: Determine the placement of your extension. The two
blocks under the extension should be pushed up tight to the platform. If the
system is to be offset one block may not have to be tight to the platform due
to the curvature in order to keep square. Be sure there are no obstructions
underneath the 8 bolt holes in which the system will be bolted to. Should not
be mounted on-top of foam decking!
You may want to offset, if feasible, the Davit Extension on the swim platform
as so that the stern of the dinghy is more supported due to weight of motor,
etc. Of course this depends on many factors, including, but not limited to,
the beam of your boat, length of your dinghy and any obstructions. Mounting:
It is suggested to use eight (8) 316 stainless steel 5/16” or 1/4” carriage
bolts, backing plates or fender washers and nylock nuts. Do not over torque.
Length of bolts are dependant upon the thickness of your platform. Square up
the Davit Extension and mark each hole to be drilled. It is good practice to
use tape on the surface to be drilled then drill the hole through the tape,
this will avoid scratching and/or chipping of the surrounding surface. Start
with a small drill bit and increase bit size to fit. Generously apply 3M B5200
sealant to seal drilled holes.
Note: If Hurley Shims are used, trimming may be necessary
Note : Do not over torque nuts & bolts
Tie downs must be used when underway, we recommend our 4-Point Tie Down system, for best results when the extension is installed. Inspection and tightening of screws, nuts and bolts should be performed weekly. Always clean the davit system with fresh water when used in a corrosive environment.
