OFFICIAL LILLIPAD DIVING BOARD SAFETY POSITIONING PROTOCOL

Ensuring the secure placement of your LilliPad Diving Board is paramount to safeguarding users during boat activities. Recognizing that boats are subject to movement caused by wave action and other marine traffic, it is imperative to adhere to precise guidelines for optimal safety.

APPROVED Positions + Expert "Parenting" Advice:

PREFERRED LILLIPAD DIVING BOARD POSITION: REAR PLATFORM / SWIM PLATFORM MOUNTING

Our highly recommended choice for the optimal placement of the LilliPad Diving Board is on the rear platform. This strategic selection involves mounting on the Port side, aligning with the stabilizer handle on the left. This configuration is designed to keep jumpers safely away from potential hazards at the back of the boat.

This positioning holds particular appeal for families as it places the diving board in proximity to the boarding ladder, facilitating easy access for users. Furthermore, the rear platform location allows children to engage in water activities at the back of the boat, providing a designated area for their enjoyment while allowing adults to relish the remaining spaces.

Embracing the rear platform mounting option ensures an optimal combination of safety, convenience, and enjoyment for all occupants on board. Should you have any specific inquiries or require further details, our team is available to provide assistance.

SIDE DOOR MOUNTING:

Side door mounting provides stability by minimizing the impact of boat movement and is favored for its lack of protruding obstructions, contributing to enhanced safety.

FRONT/BOW MOUNTING:

Bow mounting is permissible only on vessels devoid of any protruding objects from the front. This precaution is crucial to guarantee a clear and obstacle-free area, emphasizing safety during diving activities.

These safety specifications are meticulously crafted to mitigate risks and prioritize the well-being of users engaging with the LilliPad Diving Board.

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.
