swim ladder question

Post by Nebe »

Does anyone know what swim ladder would work with these mounts? My boat has these mounts, but no ladder and would love to be able to purchase one that could just work with these mounts.

Thanks!

MY boat has similar mounting and came with a swim ladder.

I've seen a similar swim ladder on the West Marine site.

But it looks like there's something white that has been put in you bracket to prevent you from using the swim ladder that would fit it.

Don't see the one on West but check out this one from Defender.

Those are slides that lock the ladder in place.

I have exactly the same, and also missing the ladder.

Thanks for sharing the link to that swim ladder. A friend has one on his boat, and I borrow it to see if it would fit, but the ones being made today are about 3 to 4 inches wider. West Marine has a sale going on now so i just said screw it and bought a west marine swim ladder at 20% off.
