Garelick 12350 2-4 Step Folding Pontoon Ladder, Anodized Aluminum, Side Gate Deck Mount

The Garelick 12350 is a folding pontoon boarding ladder built to mount permanently or temporarily at the side gate of a pontoon boat deck. It folds down to 4 steps for boarding and folds back up so the hooks tuck away and the ladder stows in the locker underneath furniture when not in use, keeping the deck clear. The ladder is constructed from lightweight anodized aluminum with a 1 inch (3cm) diameter tube that resists corrosion, and the steps have a comfortable contour black traction molded surface for secure footing when wet.

Mounting is designed around overrail hooks for easy boarding and includes Shur-Loc catches (76000) that attach to the deck for either temporary or permanent installation, along with a securing strap to hold the ladder in place. Installation involves folding out the hooks, slipping the ladder catches onto the hook ends, marking and drilling four mounting holes per catch with a 1/8 inch drill bit, and securing each catch with the included screws, making sure the rubber gasket sits inside the catch and the larger catch opening faces the deck. Ladder standoffs can be trimmed to length as needed by removing the rubber tips, cutting the standoff, and reinstalling the tips so the standoffs cushion against the pontoon float. Routine maintenance is a fresh water rinse and occasional cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner to preserve the finish and prevent corrosion. This ladder is designed for boat use only and should never be left in the deployed position while the boat is underway.
