When deciding where to drill
the holes, it's important to posi-
tion the diving board first to make
sure it will be flush with the exte-
rior of the boat when not in use
and also make sure you'll still have
access to the fuel cap. This design
allows you to still be able to dock
your boat in your slip.
After attaching the front surface plate with the provided
screws, the eye bolts now can be tightened to secure the
diving board.
With the front now attached, Corey marks the back holes
for the two smaller surface plates and then drills the holes
and repeats the mounting process. It's of course important
to really tighten the eye bolts so each forms a solid connec-
tion to the surface plate.
After raising the handrail and securing it with a pin to
hold it in position, Corey is now ready to try the board
out. The shock has two settings: one for kids under 100
pounds and a stiffer setting for those up to the recom-
mend maximum weight rating of 250 pounds. (Shown
here in the soft setting.)
Neal's Motorsports
The first install on
the back deck of the
Harris FloteBote pon-
toon went quicker than
anticipated and with
hours before the show
was scheduled to open
we gathered our tools
and next headed to
the Neal's Motorsports
booth where the Palm
Beach 240 Islander
pontoon was being dis-
played. The pontoon
already had an upper
deck with a slide, so
the thought of creating
the ultimate party boat
by adding the LilliPad
Diving Board made
perfect sense.
