cuddy cabin ladder
when i posted a couple of pics of my boat a while back someone asked about the ladder that was in the cuddy cabin used to climb up onto the deck.well today i was down at the barn and took some pics of it.
i have some measurements and wanted to put them on the pics using photoshop but quickly was reminded just how "computerally challanged" i am! if i can figure that part out i'll post them. the ladder does make it alot earier to get up on the deck to toss/retrieve the anchor. the ladder in place  the bracket that holds the upper part in place  metal bracket  the entire ladder.

some measurements
like i said,until i figure out photoshop these instructions will have to do.but i will get the measurements on the pics.............even if it takes a year!
now,i didn't build this but wouldn't take bob villa to do it either. a table saw or radial arm saw(for the dado slots) or a router for the dado slots,a hole saw,countersink bits and a screwdriver are basically all the tools this should take to build. okay,the dowel is 1.25 inches by 18.5 inches long the side rails are 2x4's by 35.75 inches long the steps are 1"x4" 12.5" long i didn't have anything to figure out the angles of the step dados but they look like they are a little less than a 45 degree angle.you could figure out the angle easy enough though by installing the metal brackets,putting the side rails and the dowel together and then setting it in place and use a torpedo level to mark the step locations with level lines.hope that makes sense! then just make the lines for the 3 steps and then cut the 3/4" dados in each rail.stainless or brass screws can be used to secure the steps to the rails. check the pics out to see the cut on the bottom of the rails. the metal brackets are made from a pices of aluminum stock that measures: 4" x 2.5" x .5" find the center,mark it w/ a punch then drill a 1 3/8th inch hole in it. then simply cut the piece down the middle lengthwise and you have your brackets.drill the holes using a countersink bit and bolt them in place.

 Great Idea and good job!!...when striper fishing, I'm to and fro the bow-deck a lot during the day to deploy the elec trolling motor...I had a very stable foot-stool to make a one-stepper out of it, which makes it easy to step DOWN as well...specially when you got 7 layers of clothing on in Feb!!...Good job on the ladder!!...

Very Nice...but where do you put the 5 gallon bucket full of tangled umbrella rigs, leaders, and plugs with rusted treble hooks?
