WARNINGS
- WARNING – Extreme Caution should be used when operating this system . . . Failure to install, maintain, protect, and operate the system properly can cause malfunction resulting in possible serious or fatal injuries and/or property damage. Not to be operated by children.
- WARNING – Davit system is not intended to be used with any person(s) and/or possessions in the dinghy.
- WARNING – Do not attempt to operate system while boat is under power.
- WARNING – System should not be placed in an area where the prop, outdrive or any other mechanical part may come in contact.
- WARNING – Remove drain plug from tender when on davit.
- WARNING – A dinghy cover is recommended to keep water from entering the dinghy.
- WARNING – Do not drill holes in your davit or alter in any way.
- WARNING – Only use stainless steel hardware when mounting and use a backing plate when applicable.
- WARNING – Dinghy must be secured/tied down before transporting.
- WARNING – Winch and winch arm should be stowed when not in use
- WARNING – Contact the manufacturer of your swim platform to ensure that it is able to handle the added weight.
- WARNING – Regular inspection, adjustment, and maintaining your davit and other associated components is necessary to ensure proper operation.
- WARNING – Always clean the davit system with fresh water when it is used in a corrosive environment to maintain longevity. Annually use a Rust & Corrosion protectant on your stainless steel. “Fluid Film” is suggested.
- CAUTION: – It is suggested to off-set the davit, during installation, on the platform so that the stern of the dinghy is more supported due to weight of motor, etc.
- CAUTION – Weight limit: H3O+ = 725-pound safe working load. Do not exceed weight load limit. H3O+ XL = 1000 pound safe working load. Do not exceed the weight load limit.
Your Hurley H3O+ Dinghy Davit system is made of Marine Grade High-Density Polyethylene and stainless steel components and hardware. All of these components are used for strength, and longevity and to reduce friction during retrieval and launching.
Planning the installation: A mounting template has been included with
these instructions and should be used to properly a-line, drill, and install
the mounting plates. You may want to offset the davit on the platform so that
the stern of the dinghy is more supported due to the weight of the motor, etc.
Of course, this depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, the
beam of your boat, the length of your dinghy, and any obstructions. Note: The
davit must be able to pivot over the edge of your platform.
Mounting the Plates: It is suggested to use four Stainless Steel 5/16”
Button Head Socket Cap Screws (not included). Using the Mount Template center
punch each hole. Start with a small drill bit and increase bit size to 5/16”.
It is good practice to use tape on the surface to be drilled then drill the
hole through the tape, this will avoid scratching/chipping of the surrounding
surface. Measure twice, drill once! Generously apply 3M 5200 sealant to seal
drilled holes and the bottom of the mounting plates. Secure fasteners using
nylon nuts, fender washers or backing plates, when applicable, and nyloc nuts
when thru bolting. Do not apply more than 8-10 foot-pound (ft-lbf) of torque.
Electric Winch Operation: Please see Electric Winch Instructions.
Tie-downs must be used when underway, we recommend our 3-Point or 4-Point
Tie-Down system for best results.
There is a third mounting pin included with your H3O+ Davit. It can be used as
a replacement pin for mounting or can be used to stop the rotation of the
davit, only if there is no tender on the davit system, by inserting it in the
hole of the plate. This should only be used when transporting the davit with
no tender atop as so it doesn’t rotate and drag in the water. Adjust the inner
bunks with the hull of the tender as so the both outer and inner linear bunks
are supporting the hull. In some cases, the inner bunks may not work due to
hull configurations.
Inspection and tightening of screws, nuts and bolts should be performed weekly. Always clean the davit system with fresh water when it is used in a corrosive environment. Annually use a Rust & Corrosion protectant on your stainless steel. “Fluid Film” is suggested.
