FITTING OF INTERLOCK BLOCKS INSTALLATION: Cooney Marine have developed a patented system to ensure the safe, stable and chafeproof stowage of dinghies and tenders.

They should be positioned so that they allow the underside of the davit jib (or jib blocks) to slot in when the tender or dinghy is winched up. The two flat pads should be fixed to the outer side of the dinghy at the point where the underside of the davit's extending arm touches. (See diagram below).
