Very nice and look much better than original Weaver Mounts. Are you planning to sell some as well?

Thanks for looking out Scott. I guess I should have kept my question more privetly to avoid any legal complications.
um--noooo, they take too long to make with my available tooling.I'd have to get $500 a set to make it worthwhile. Stainless is a pain in the _ _ _ to pollish.These will go on a swim platform extension I am also making. Pics to follow when Im done.

Very nice:thumbsup: I like how you concealed the tops of the screws. I hope you measured the thickness of your friends swim deck, the bolts look to short.
Here are some my friend made for me.

Re: Help Mounting Weaver Snap Davits?
Has anyone had experience mounting Weaver Snap Davits (Quick Connect Plates) to the swim platform of a 340DA???
My dealer advises they must be thru bolted to the swim platform, but I don't see how that's possible with the way the underside of the platform slopes & connects to the hull.
Any Help?:smt014

To your original question,
What year is you 340? I have an 04 and i just did mine through bolted, bolts were either 2" or 2 1/4', the ones that came with the mounts, they were just the right length and I used a 1/2" spacer under my mounts to clear the lip on the back of the platform. Get some large washers though, I'm actually going to fabricate a backing plates for mine. I have a slide on davit system so don't like the idea of all that pressure on a small area near the rear of the platform.
