CD330 swim ladder

Post by saga330 »

I am in need of the stand off section of the swim ladder for a cd330. This section is approximately 16 inches in length and when deployed holds the swim ladder against the transom.

Hmmm. If it is a stern ladder, I know the part you need. I've no suggestions other than cheapest to most expensive, fabricate what you think can with dumpster tubing and some store bought end fittings, hunt around on boat sites and craiglists for a similar ladder parts or take your existing ladder to a fabricator or stainless shop for a custom job. In the back of Good Old Boat magazine there are a couple stainless fabricators. cannot remember their names at the moment. Good luck.

We just used ours for the first time in a while this week. (We usually board the dinghy from the side) and I realized I need to replace the rubber ends that contact the transom. UV kills man, UV kills.
