Dinghy

In 2002 we purchased a new AB dinghy that was quite a bit larger than the original Zodiac we started with.

We did not like the way that the AB fit on the davits so we modified it, adding new lift points and fabricated a lift bridle. The lift bridle gave us two lift points that were directly under the davit arms/lift tackle. Lifting the dinghy was now easier and once lifted it was held more firmly in place.

After getting water into the fuel several times we added this small Racor Fuel/Water separator. The filter is mounted inside the AB transom and is spliced directly into the fuel line.

After several years of use one of the chambers on the dink was leaking. The leak turned out to be a defective valve so after getting Gra’inne back in the water and heading North for the season I picked up a new valve and the installation tool. Removal and replacement was easy.
