Abstract:
A swim platform is built into a side of a boat, either the port or starboard side. The swim platform is raised and lowered by a mechanism that fits within the side wall of the boat beneath the gunnel. The swim platform is raised when the boat is underway to prevent water intrusion, provide safety, and reduce drag; while the swim platform is lowered, for example, when the boat is anchored for enjoyment of the boaters using the boat.

Claim (Index 15):
A mechanism for moving a side swim platform between a retracted position and an extended position, the mechanism comprising:\n a shaft pivot mechanically affixed to a first side edge of a side swim platform and extending into a side wall of the boat, the side swim platform sized to fit within an opening in the side wall of a boat; and a hydraulic ram mounted within the side wall of the boat at the first side of the opening, a first end of the hydraulic ram rotatably interfaced to a bearing, the bearing affixed to the boat, a second, opposing end of the hydraulic ram interfaced to the shaft through a linkage, the linkage converting linear motion from the hydraulic ram into a rotational motion of the pivot; whereas extension of the hydraulic ram rotates the shaft in a first direction of rotation and retraction of the hydraulic ram rotates the shaft in a second direction of rotational.
