WARNINGS
- WARNING – Failure to install, maintain, protect, and operate the system properly can cause malfunction resulting in possible serious or fatal injuries and/or property damage.
- WARNING – The chock system is not intended to be used with any person(s) and/or possessions in the dinghy.
- WARNING – Chock should not be placed in an area where it may come in contact with mechanical parts.
- WARNING – Remove the drain plug from tender when on Chock.
- WARNING – A dinghy cover is recommended to keep water from entering the dinghy.
- WARNING – Do not drill holes in your Chock 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 – Regular inspection, adjustment, and maintaining your davit and other associated components is necessary to ensure proper operation.

- CAUTION – It is suggested to off-set the Chock, during installation, on the platform so that the stern of the dinghy is more supported due to the weight of the motor, etc.

Your Hurley Chock system is made of Marine Grade High-Density Polyethylene Cradles and Stainless Steel components and hardware. This Chock system allows scuff-free maneuvering of your tender.
The chocks can be positioned or removed, in the multiple holes provided for the best position for your tenders hull. For soft-bottom dinghies, you may want to remove the chocks.
Planning the installation
Rail / Channel Install
Make sure the Chocks are properly aligned and in place before securing. If using the knobs for rail installs, only hand tighten.
Note: An additional bolt, nut & washer, or other means should be used as a stopper in the rail or channel as so it doesn’t slide out.
Deck Plate Install
You may want to off-set the Chock depending on your dinghies weight
distribution. Of course this depends on many factors, including, but not
limited to, the beam of your boat, length of your dinghy and any obstructions.
Distance between cradles should be no less than 36” and dependant upon the
length of your tender. 
After determining where to place your Chocks start with a small drill bit and
increase bit size to 3/4”. The three holes should be drilled for the screws
that are included. 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. Generously apply 3M 5200
sealant to seal drilled holes and the bottom of the decking plates. Measure
twice, drill once!
Tie-downs must be used when underway!
