The previous owner of my boat used the Nutley Dinghy Ramps with his Mercury Air Deck 270 and a small Lehr 5hp. In the one photo of his setup I have, I can't see the bottom of the dinghy to see if this is an issue.
I'm using the "DinghyDavis.com" setup (essentially the same thing - not naming names, but some idiot sold the Nautleys last year after swearing they'd never own another dinghy).
On them I have an air floor, air keel 10'3" Newport Vessels and a Mercury 9.9. Just at 200lbs with the fuel tank in there.
Noticed a "bend" in the bottom of the inflatable by the transom end where the davit hits it. I can bring it closer but as the transom is only an inch wide, I'm really not comfortable trying to line them up.
Is this anything to worry about? Can anyone with an all air inflatable confirm if this is the same on your boat?
