Where can I get this dinghy part?

I am buying a dinghy for my 270. My boat has the davit clips (Weaver I believe)  on the swim platform already (zoom in on the picture and you will see what I have) but I need to the pads and clips that glue to the dinghy. I’ve surfed the net but come up empty. Any help would be appreciated.

    Weaver and Sealux make them. I have looked into them before on Amazon. Sealux is about $120 but I'm not sure if it includes the pad that glues to the dinghy.

    Looks like Weaver sells the pads and Sealux has the clips that go in the pads. Not sure if the pads are hypalon or PVC.

    I checked out the Weaver site.  I guess I just need to learn how the system works. I need the pads and also the yokes it appears.

    This is what I have. They are Weaver. I forgot they were in the basement I kept tripping on them on my swim platform so I can removed them

    Yeah so all you need is the pad that glues to the dinghy and then the clips that go in the pads. Make sure you get the proper pad and glue for your rafts construction, PVC or hypalon

    Just found this website and the prices seem much better. What size is your dinghy. I have an Achilles for my 280 but I haven't attached it yet. Also what size engine do you have and how will you store the engine?

    It’s an Achilles LS RU 4.  I’m buying it from a buddy who bought a bigger one for his boat.  It has a cheap 2 hp Chinese motor but I plan to replace it with a 3.3 hp Mercury 2 stroke with a built in gas tank I am told it can be stored on its side in the trunk. There is even a mount in there  to hold  it in place.

    I love my Merc 3.3hp!  28lbs and can actually get just me on plane if need be!  I have the same davits that you have.  As mentioned, just make sure to use the proper glue and you will be fine.

    Nope, not mine.  I don't put it under my seat, not even in my prior 310.
