Question 1

How does it bolt to the deck of pontoon

Accepted Answer

Good Morning: There are two Stainless Steel Brackets that cradle the top step. The brackets are bolted onto the deck floor. We provide an exact template that is laid onto your deck, and two or three holes are then drilled ( 3/8ths) for each bracket.  A neoprene rubber gasket is placed onto the deck  and a stainless steel bolt(s) is placed through the bracket. On the underside of your deck , a similar gasket is placed against the underside deck and a stainless steel back plate is positioned and "nutted" on. Takes only a few minutes to place the brackets and the template is exact so no miss-drilled holes. From there the fully assembled H2O is placed between the brackets and two stainless steel pins are inserted on each side. The center pin on each side allows rotation up and down, the other pin ( all pins stainless steel, are attached to the brackets with a lanyard to prevent dropping them in the water)will lock the H2O in the up position or the down position. We manufacture the H2O in the Rockford Illinois area, all USA made. With the pontoon boats, the XL model works if the deck of your boat sits 16 inches above water. 877 275 4870 toll free if you have questions. Thank you for your interest.

Question 2

What is the weight limit? My weimaraner is 98 lbs.  Also does the lowest stop sit in th water on a pontoon boat?

Accepted Answer

I holds up to 150 pounds.  On  a pontoon boat if it is 19 inches off the water the bottom step is in the water and second from the bottom is right at the water line.
This is based on say a 3 toon 25 foot pontoon.

Question 3

Can you please supply me dimensions of the height from the top platform to the first step and top platform to bottom of 4 step?

Accepted Answer

Hello Flashdog: We invented and manufacture the Pet Loader H2O in Rockford Illinois. The distance from the top step on your boat to the next step on the removable portion of the H2O is 11 inches. The total depth from the deck of your boat to the bottom platform is 27 inches. The bottom platform has a slight dihedral, the end away from your boat is designed to be lower than the end nearest your boat. This helps your pet swim onto the bottom platform and then to easily and safely bring his rear legs on board. All 4 legs fit on the bottom platform of any dog. This WORKS, we designed H2O for the horizontal body of our pets, they swim horizontally too. Please call Bob or Evon Whalen toll free 877 275 4870 if you have questions. We ship within 24 hours of order.
Thank you for your interest in the H2O Flashdog.

Question 4

Would this work on an in ground pool?   I have 2 cavalier st Charles and just installed a pool worried about drowning.

Accepted Answer

There are 2 brackets it attaches to and they need to have 4 holes drilled to install them.  Some people attach them to piers.  We attached one to a deck in  our video.
Always need someplace to attach.
