A Platform Lift Mechanism for a Boat

摘要

A platform lift mechanism for a boat includes two spaced apart lift arm assemblies. Each lift arm assembly including a transom bracket adapted for being fixed to the transom of a boat. A platform lift arm is pivotally connected to the transom bracket. A pivot arm is linked to the platform lift arm at one end. The pivot arm is pivotal about a pivot axis to urge the platform lift arm between a raised and a lowered position by pivotal displacement of the pivot arm. A lifting bar extends between the pivot arms of the respective lift arm assemblies. The lifting bar is connected to at least one of the pivot arms at a position offset from the pivot axis to pivot the pivot arm by displacement of the lifting bar. A hydraulic ram is linked to the lifting bar to displace the lifting bar. - - --16 13 - 17
