Marine technology manufacturer DAVCO has announced the launch of its new AquaChocks removable and adjustable chock system.
The Gold Coast, Australia-based company’s new AquaChocks product provides stability of a secure cradle system for storage of tenders and personal watercraft (PWC) while underway, giving boaters peace of mind while out on the water.
Synthetic grip pads keep the tender in place without causing damage to the hull. When not in use, AquaChocks can be completely removed to leave a true flush deck surface and eliminate trip hazards. The chock is designed to fit a wide variety of tenders and PWCs, while the adjustable design ensures a snug fit to keep all sizes and shapes of watercraft secure.
Built with 316 stainless steel, AquaChocks is designed to survive the harsh maritime environment with long-lasting durability and a mirror finish that shines.
“We know that no matter the size of your vessel, deck space is at a premium,” said DAVCO CEO George Geros. “The innovation behind the AquaChock system is that it is a secure system for stowing your watercraft, adjustable to be perfectly tailored to each vessel and removable allowing users to reclaim valuable deck space when not in use. We believe that this system will change the way you use and stow your dinghy.”
AquaChocks are available in two kits to offer versatility. The AquaChocks Foredeck kit is designed for installation in the forward deck and includes chock mounting brackets for stability without the need of drilling deep into the deck.
The rear AquaChocks kit features a vertical support to keep the tender or PWC secure when facing forward. Swim platforms provide easy launching and access to a tender or PWC.
The release notes that both kits have been designed to ensure maximum stability and safety of a tender when stored. For more flexibility, the chocks can be removed from the bases, allowing boaters to enjoy the swim platform area when the tender is in the water.
AquaChocks come in a tough case which includes everything to safely store a tender of PWC, including hardware, tie down straps and more. The case acts as storage on board when the chocks are removed, allowing owners to keep all the equipment in one place.
The AquaChocks start at $1,749 and can be installed professionally at the boatyard or by savvy do-it-yourselfers. The kit comes with a QR code with detailed installation videos. AquaChocks are also fully customizable for a variety of uses.
