Frequently asked questions about our davit system


What makes the "Trick Davit" system the finest on the market?

The Trick Davit System has been tested in waters all over the world for the past 15 years. It has been continually refined to make it the most dependable, easiest to use roll-on davit system available.

What is the weight capacity of the Trick Davit System?

A conservative weight capacity is 400 pounds. If your dinghy weighs more we will add a third bracket/cradle to support the extra weight.

What materials are used to make the Trick Davit?

Brackets and cradles are constructed of non marking industrial strength Marine Grade Polyethylene and assembled with 316 grade stainless steel hardware.

Are there different models

Recent developments have made the Trick Davit System available for almost every boat. Our new adjustable cradles and 14 inch extensions make the Trick Davit System the most versatile, dependable system on the market! Securing your inflatable after loading varies with each boat. One ratchet and two cam buckle straps are the norm. A ratchet strap is recommended to secure the stern. One cam buckle holds the bow in place and the other prevents the secured inflatable from tilting back.

What are the advantages of a Trick Davit System?
  1. In the event of an emergency your inflatable can be launched and underway in less than 30 seconds.
  2. 6 large Polyethylene Rollers allow for easy loading/unloading. Approximately 50 pounds of force is needed to load a 10 foot dinghy, 15 horsepower motor, and 5 gallons of gas. (Similar systems are demonstrated without gas tanks and with smaller, or no, outboards.)
  3. The Trick Davit System provides support for the entire beam. Longer cradles also allow for easier loading. The roll-on starts closer to the water.
  4. In some cases you can upgrade from older davit systems without having to drill additional holes.
  5. Cradles can be removed and stored in less than a minute.
  6. The tender's cover can still be used.
  7. No more removing your outboard or gas tank each time your inflatable is needed.
  8. No more storing flammable materials inside your boat.
  9. No more back strain from removing your outboard each time your inflatable is needed.
  10. No more fear of dropping your outboard in the water.
  11. No more having to pump out bilge water, simply pull the plug.
  12. No more scum line because it's more convenient to leave your inflatable in the water.
