Amarine Made Stainless Steel Telescoping Boarding Ladder

The stainless steel ladder is designed to be installed under the pontoon deck at the front, and its slide/folding mechanism works exceptionally well. The ladder is very well-built, with a strong spring that holds it securely in the stowed position, ensuring it remains retracted even when the boat is navigating rough waters. Thanks to its 4 steps, the ladder extends deep into the water, making it ideal for use in shallow areas. If needed, a bungee can be used to hold the 4th step up to the 3rd step to prevent it from rubbing the ground.

The ladder features a compact and easy-to-stow design, making it perfect for installations under swim platforms or on the bow or side of pontoon boats. It stows within its own length and has a spring-loaded self-locking mechanism for secure storage. This eliminates the need for Velcro straps, bungee cords, and rubber straps. The ladder also has a carry handle for easy folding and unfolding.

The ladder's treads are made of flat poly material for increased comfort, and the entire structure is constructed from 316 stainless steel, rated to support up to 1190 lbs. When mounting the ladder, it is important to choose a suitable location on the transom platform that does not interfere with the motor's turning or the propeller. The eight mounting holes should be marked and drilled, and the ladder should be secured in place using through-bolts for a secure installation.

Safety guidelines for using the ladder include: no jumping or diving, not using the ladder while the motor is running, using the ladder only for boat-related activities, facing the ladder when entering the boat or water, and having only one person on the ladder at a time. Before each use, it is essential to check the steps and hardware to ensure they are in good condition.

The ladder is designed for ease of use and maximum safety. Its telescoping steps fold quickly and effortlessly into the water for safe boarding, and the low-profile stainless steel steps fold compactly for storage, giving the ladder a sleek, unobtrusive appearance. The ladder can be easily mounted under any swim platform or other suitable area, with minimal depth requirements. While it comes with eight screws, additional stainless steel screws can be purchased from a local hardware store for different applications.

In summary, this high-quality stainless steel boat ladder is an excellent choice for pontoon and dock use, offering a secure, easy-to-use, and well-designed solution for safe boarding and water access.
