Step 10 -
Attach the pad to the inflatable, see figure #8, and rub the air out from under the pad using
a hard roller or rounded stick. See figure #9. You may want to deflate the boat to assure a better bond
for the pad. It is critical to get all the air out from between the pad and the inflatable and the pad is
sealed around the edges.
Step 11 -
Once the air is out from under the pad, let the pad set-up for 48 hours.
**DO NOT TOUCH
IT!!**
After 48 hours attach the stainless steel yoke with the 3/4” long hex head bolts. A little grease on
the bolt will keep the threads from gauling. The glue will be 100% set in 7 days. See figure #10.
Step 12 -
The same procedure is used to install the Stand-off pad. See figure #11.
Step 13 -
The next step is to install the davit heads on the back of the yacht. First hold the davit head
on the spot that lines up with the rubber pad on the inflatable.
**Note: tie a string to the heads, so
you don’t have to get a diver to retrieve one.**
Step 14 -
Mark and drill the holes. Insert the 2” long bolts provided (or longer ones as necessary)
through the holes and secure the davit head from under the swim platform with the nuts provided. It is
important at this point that you attach the mounted davit head to your inflatable pad.
Step 15 -
Next, hook the remaining davit head to the dinghy and mark where the holes will be drilled
in the swim platform. Drill the holes for the second davit head and insert the bolts and tighten nuts
provided.
On integrated swim platforms you may have to follow a different procedure for installation. Call
your dealer or Weaver Industries to find out how to install on an integrated swim platform.
Step 16 -
You are now ready to pivot the dinghy to a vertical position to secure it to you boat. It is
recommended that
The Original Weaver Stand-Off Brackets
be installed. This simple method con-
sists of a set of rubber pads which are glued in a similar manner as the davit pads to the inflatable.
The Stand-Off Brackets are than installed on the back of the yacht and are used for attaching to the
clips on the inflatable.
Step 17 -
The swivel end of the Stand-Off Bracket is attached to the transom of the yacht. An extra set
of clips are provided for attaching the Stand-Off Bracket back to the transom when not in use.
