The davit is powered by the AFT SYSTEMS switch on
the 240VAC distribution panel which must be ON for
davit operation.
Connect the remote control unit located in the starboard
cockpit storage locker to the receptacle located on the
port base of the transom in the cockpit.
Be certain that the davit base is raised fully before
operating the davit. Extend the standpipe by pressing
the “Pipe Up” button on the remote control unit. In
order for the davit to rotate the standpipe must be
raised to its fully extended position.
After lifting the watercraft with the davit, swing the
davit by pushing or pulling the load. This will make
rotation much easier and will provide better leverage
if the vessel should heel over slightly. DO NOT push
on the boom.
When operation of the davit is complete, clip the snap
shackle into the bale on the weight stowage bracket
at the end of the boom. Press the cable UP button on
the remote unit while guiding the weight between the
sides of the bracket until the cable stops.
Rotate the boom over the box and lower the hook into
place by pressing the CABLE DOWN button on the
remote unit. Disconnect the remote unit and replace
in storage.
