Get Aboard Ladder

reelapeelin · #1 05-04-2011, 09:54 AM

Went Bass Fishin' w/a good buddy of mine Mon...he's got an interesting little ladder that is permanently attached via the two port-side engine mount bolts...has a pull-out pin for easy up or down of the two step ladder...thought this may interest some here who don't want swim-platform, but see the need to get back into the boat from time to time...

Very sturdy construction, deploys and retracts easily...he mounted a grab handle on top of transom to assist entry...

X2. That is one sweet invention... Sometimes the best ideas are the simple ones, although I do wonder why the inventor made that a drop down slot instead of just a pivot on the bottom bolt. Seems that a pivot would be easier to machine and structurally speaking would be sounder than that long slot. In all cases it's a great idea and the maker deserves a lot of credit for coming up with it.

The only thing I can think of is if the motor was turned all the way to the left (in this case) and it were a pivot on the bottom bolt the motor might interefere in deployment. Of course it may make it harder to actually board if that is the case too so who knows. I like it thought and wish I'd have thought of it. I sure as heck wouldn't be sitting here at work right now.

Nice, but they are sure proud of their work. Take a look at the price.

Dang, I like that thing!
Thanks reel!
That thing is perfect for old bastadges to get in the boat on their own if needed.

Probably of it hinged it would swing toward the boat when you tried to climb up just as a some hinged ladders do on a swim platform.
