Hurley H20 Brackets

[JustUs2]

Just installed the new Hurley H2O brackets. Haven't had a chance to try them yet but will this weekend.
Anybody tried these?

I have a set I just installed this season. Just returned from a trip to Block Island RI. They work fine, easy to load and unload. I have 4 tie down points to keep the Dinghy from moving while underway. Mine slip into the old Weaver davits.

Hi Russ

Sure, I'll post a few pictures with the Dinghy on and off this Friday.

I've had mine on for about a month now. So far I'm very pleased with them. No issues yet.

Thanks!

Also how high are your platforms off the water?

My 2002 380 is about 18 inches off the water. I was one of three boats that added the H2O's on my dock.
A 38 Sundancer and a 42 Sabre were the other two. The Saber is also about 18 inches, but the 38 is much much higher. I wouldn't say his is easy on. I'll take pictures of all three.

That would be great, thanks

I found these photos I took while I was installing the tie downs. The engine was removed to more easily move the dinghy around, while I was doing the installation.

DC380, I installed the older Hurleys last year when purchased the boat and it works fine with our 8'6" zodiac with 5 hp Honda. I did not install the hold downs yet. My question is, did you screw your hold downs directly to the swim platform or did you use backing plates with bolts & nuts? Not what to do. Thanks

Hi Tony

I used nuts and bolts, a lock washer and 2 sets of washers, a small one slightly smaller then the nut, and then the biggest washer I could fit on the nuts. So the entire back of the tie down acts like a backing plate. I sealed everything with 4200.
