Where Is The Best Mounting Location?
Our top recommendation is a stern location, particularly where the ladder is typically mounted. This configuration facilitates a quick and easy swim to board the boat, creating an enjoyable experience for users who can seamlessly jump back into the water for repeated enjoyment.
With the above in mind, it is also VERY IMPORTANT to consider the structural layout of your boat when determining a mounting location. When using an underfloor mount kit the main frame of the diving board should sit directly on top of a frame cross member. When using a surface mount kit you need to be able to screw directly into cross members on both the main frame mounting plate and at least one ladder plate. Refer to our INSTALLATION MANUAL and/or VIDEO LIBRARY for more information. Or, call us for guidance at 800-279-3419.
