Dinghy Operations
The law requires everyone under 12 in the dinghy to wear a lifejacket and
all others to have a lifejacket readily available.
Osprey
is equipped with a brand new APEX A-10 Eurosport dinghy powered
by a 20hp Tohatsu outboard motor. The dinghy accommodates up to five
adults, and features an inboard steering console with windscreen, cushioned
seats with folding backrests, navigation lights, electric bilge pump, and a 6
gallon fuel tank in the bow locker.
A Sea Wise dinghy deployment system mounted on the stern swim-step
makes launching and retrieving the dinghy a simple and straightforward
process, involving no manual lifting or awkward positioning of overhead
derricks, hoists and harnesses.
Launching the Dinghy
1. MAKE CERTAIN THE BILGE PLUG IS IN THE DINGHY!!
2.
Trim the motor up to clear the davit arm mechanism using either the
rocker switch on the throttle arm, or the rocker switch on the port side of the
outboard motor casing.
3.
Remove the safety pin that secures the lifting arm of the Sea Wise davit in
its parked position.
4.
Rotate the hand crank counterclockwise and observe the dinghy as it
lowers to the water.
5.
When afloat, continue to crank until the lifting cable is loose, detach the
cable and secure it to davit.
6.
Lock the transom pivot arm at the stern of the dinghy in place using the
screw fitments.
7.
Detach dinghy from the swim platform by
pulling up on the attachment bracket levers and
pushing the dinghy away from the vessel. Best
to do this after the outboard motor is started
and running smoothly.
