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 1):
A side swim platform system comprising:\n a side swim platform sized to fit within an opening in a side wall of a boat, the opening having a first side and second, opposing side; a first shaft mechanically fixed to a first side edge of the side swim platform and a second shaft mechanically fixed to a second, opposite side edge of the side swim platform; a first hydraulic ram mounted within a boat side wall at the first side of the opening, a first end of the first hydraulic ram rotatably interfaced to a first bearing, the first bearing affixed to an inside surface of the side wall of the boat, a second, opposing end of the first hydraulic ram interfaced directly to the first shaft through a first monolithic linkage, the first monolithic linkage converting linear motion from the first hydraulic ram directly into a rotational motion of the first shaft causing the first shaft to rotate; and a second hydraulic ram mounted within the boat side wall at the second, opposing side of the opening, a first end of the second hydraulic ram rotatably interfaced to a second bearing, the second bearing affixed to a second inside surface of the side wall of the boat, a second, opposing end of the second hydraulic ram interfaced directly to the second shaft through a second monolithic linkage, the second monolithic linkage converting the linear motion from the second hydraulic ram directly into the rotational motion of the second shaft; whereas extension of the first hydraulic ram and extension of the second hydraulic ram in tandem retracts the side swim platform and retraction of the first hydraulic ram and retraction of the second hydraulic ram in tandem extends the side swim platform.
