Universal Dock Mount, 1/2-1HP De-icers (Unit & Pipe Not Included)

Expensive but it dues the job

Well made. Quality materials. Good instructions. Fits same brand deicer as it should.

This mount works like a charm with my 3/4 hp Kasco deicer. Without the mount I had problems controlling the direction of the water flow. With the mount it was real easy to direct the pump up, down and sideways as needed. I highly recommend this easy to install and use mount.

The mount works great, holds the deicer in place with no issues and was easy to assemble. I use mine with the 1/2hp model. You'll need to pick up a 1 inch threaded pipe from the hardware store to screw in to the mount + the lag bolts to attach it to the dock. There are a couple of things that could be better. A way to get the pipe out of the mount easier like some sort of hinge system so there is less chance of dropping everything in the water. It would also be nice if the whole mount was removable from the dock while not in use for the summer....something like the minn kota quick release brackets that allow you to easily take your trolling motor off the boat. Lastly on the 1/2hp it would be nice if there were some grooves on the deicer itself to reduce the chance of the deicer slipping out of the bands. I had one work its way a bit loose. Overall works much better than the ropes that come with the deicer.

Should have brought this mount years ago. It's like having an outboard motor attached to the dock. Easy to install and control your de-icer. Instead of hanging your de-icer install this mount much more efficient.

Purchased this and separately purchased the 1 inch diameter pole to attach it to per the description. It doesn't work. Pole is TOO SMALL/NEEDS 1 1/4 Inch pole, packaging is wrong and I now need to purchase a second pole

Used it for our first winter in the Midwest. Kept a large area around the dock from freezing. We see the swirling current extending out far. Sometimes it gurgles loudly. The only downside is you will get a big increase in your electric bills. Ours doubled each month, and then we decided to lower the connected thermostat down to 27 degrees air temp to turn it on instead of higher to keep it from running so much. And we had a mild winter. But it protects the dock. Our dock extends out 28 feet from the shoreline. The main design drawback is the manufacturer requirement to have the ropes extend across a span of 10 feet which is not possible with a single dock design only 4 feet wide. So we removed the rope and attached it with a pipe to a separately purchased dock support system. It added up over $800 with the thermostat so we hope it lasts many years.

The product description says a threaded or unthreaded pipe is needed (not supplied) and shows an all metal construction with U bolts. The bracket I received is quite different and requires a threaded pipe that threads into a plastic bracket. This seems very flimsy. I will be surprised if this thing lasts two weeks. Looks like I will be cutting up some angle iron and fixing this garbage. Not worth the money at all.

Super strong, bought to remove the weeds, amazing!

The product is a good example universal item for the de iced. The price is out of this world. Crazy price for what you get.
