Harbor Mate 4 Step Telescoping Boat Ladder w/ Swim Platform

The telescoping boat ladder makes boarding from the water a much easier process. The Harbor Mate transom ladder is made of durable grade 304 stainless steel that holds weight in the vertical position, a typical problem with rope ladders that flex and pinch toes and fingers when weight is applied. The telescoping boat ladder is long enough to prevent swimmers from having to make an uncomfortable reach when boarding, unlike one step ladders. The four-step ladder adjusts from 16-1/2" - 44-1/8". The ladder comes attached to a fiberglass platform that helps swimmers board after a quick dip. When not in use, the ladder compactly flips out of the water and onto the platform. The transom ladder and platform combo mounts to the back of a vessel with stainless steel rails. This system can be mounted with both 7/8" handrails, or the alternative one side rail. Extra stainless steel hardware is provided for the one side rail option and consists of a 90 deg. bracket and an 7/8" angled brace that stabilizes the platform to the boat. Each step is wrapped with treaded rubber that gives traction to those entering and exiting the marine vessel. When not in use, an included Velcro strap keeps the telescoping steps from deploying. To avoid injury, the boat ladder cannot exceed the 300 lb weight capac(more...)
