INSTALLATION

THREE INSTALLATION OPTIONS: DESIGNED FOR PERFECTION

LilliPad Marine offers three unique mounting options for LilliPad Diving Boards.  Our mounting options ensure a solid and secure installation in addition to taking aesthetics, ease of installation, cost, and the ability to mount alternate accessories into the same mounting system into the equation. You will find a wealth of information online about our mounting kits but the best way to find out which kit is right for you is to give us a call.  When you call LilliPad Marine you will always speak to a live and knowledgeable person who will explain the best mounting kit for you...and your boat.  In addition, we can provide an email or text with video links to the installation(s) we are recommending.

Our goal is to provide exceptional and personalized customer service.

The LilliPad Ghost Mount is the ultimate accessory mounting option for your boat!

GHOST MOUNT

The International Award Winning LilliPad Ghost Mount System is the ultimate accessory mounting kit for your boat. The Ghost Mount works as a single mounting point for deck accessories such as flag poles and grill posts or in multipoint mounting configurations for cooler-tie-downs and LilliPad Diving Boards. With a face smaller than a quarter, the Ghost Mount installs flush to the deck, so it can be placed almost anywhere without creating an obstruction or toe-stubbing threat.  The Ghost Mount kit for a LilliPad Diving Board is a three point mounting system and typically utilized in bow and stern mount applications.

With a three-point Ghost Mount system installed, you have the versatility to utilize the mounts for a diving board, grill post, flag-pole or as a cooler-tie down. (Optional accessories sold separately) Individual Ghost Mounts are also sold separately to allow optional mounting locations, like the flag pole shown above. Learn how to install individual Ghost Mounts, HERE.

LilliPad Diving Board Surface Mounting Kit

SURFACE MOUNT

The Surface Mounting kit is used on boats with a substantial amount of bracing in the mounting area.  This mounting kit is designed to utilize the strength of the crossmembers to create a very solid and secure installation.  The most popular use of the surface mount kit is on aft-deck installations on tri-toon pontoon boats with a horsepower rating above 150. Surface mounting kits can also be used for fiberglass applications.

 Refer to our Installation Manual for further details on properly securing surface mount plates to your boat.

Under Mounting Kit

UNDERFLOOR MOUNT
The Underfloor Mounting system is typically used on boats that allow access to the underside of the flooring surface and with proper spacing for the placement of the mounting plates without obstruction. Underfloor mount kits are often used for side-door installations and on two-tube pontoon boats with low horsepower ratings.

My Pontoon Boat Has An Aluminum Splash Guard That Covers The Bottom; Do I Need To Remove This For Installation?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is not straightforward because the construction of boats varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer.  In addition, we have created three different mounting kits that require different access to the underside of the boat. With this said, there will never be a time that more than a few screws or rivets will need to be removed to complete an installation.  Depending on your boat we are also able to provide alternate installation methods that do not require dropping or removing splash-guards at all.  Please contact us for details.

Are All Mounting Kits equally secure?

Yes, when installed as directed, all mounting kits are equally as secure.

My Boat Has A Composite Floor; Can I Install A Diving Board?

Please contact LilliPad Marine to discuss your flooring surface. Composite floors require a special epoxy to be injected into the floor prior to installing the mounting screws.
(Note: Forest River Pontoons have a factory approved diving board installation procedure)

What Is The Difference Between Grip-Tape And Textured Foam?

LilliPad’s Standard Grip Tape is black and accented with a LilliPad Diving Board logo in silver or white. The grip tape looks and feels much like a “skate-board style” grip tape which is course to the hand but comfortable for feet and provides appropriate grip to safely use the LilliPad Diving Board.  With average use and proper storage, (use of a protective cover when not in use) standard grip tape typically lasts 3-5 years.

LilliPad’s Textured Foam is made from industry leading SeaDek©.  Our textured foam can be ordered in a variety of colors to match the look of your boat.  SeaDek Foam is comfortable to the touch and will not pull on the fibers of swimsuits if someone sits on the platform yet, offers excellent traction for safe use of your LilliPad Diving Board. In the harshest conditions, LilliPad’s Textured Foam can be expected to last 5-7 years. If the diving board is properly cared for and covered a longer life is likely.
