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.

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

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

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.

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.
