Tie Down Method
Recommended Tie-Down Approach
Hurley Davit Systems require at least 3-points to tie the tender down: one at the bow, one at the stern, and another over the inboard pontoon. More tie-downs can be added if needed! We’ve included illustrations below to help show you how your dinghy davit should be tied down.
Note: This is for reference only! Additional tie-downs can and should be added if needed. Let us know if you have any questions—we’re here to help! Click the photos to expand for detailed views.
