Garelick 19623-61 Over-Platform Telescoping Drop Ladder, 3-Step Stainless Steel, 400 Pound Capacity

The Garelick 19623-61 is a 3-step telescoping drop ladder built to mount underneath a boat's swim platform, out of sight until it is needed. Rather than hanging permanently off the stern, the ladder folds flat and stows compactly under the platform, then unfolds and telescopes down into the water when it's time to board or climb out. This over-platform design keeps the transom area clear and the ladder protected from sun and spray when not in use.

Constructed of electropolished stainless steel for corrosion resistance in salt or fresh water, the ladder is rated to hold up to 400 pounds. Each of the three steps uses a flat poly tread for secure, comfortable footing when wet. Extended, the ladder reaches 34.5 inches down into the water; folded for storage, it collapses to just 14.5 inches long and 11.63 inches wide, with a stowed height of 2.5 inches so it sits close against the underside of the platform. All mounting hardware is included, along with a bungee cord and securing strap to hold the folded ladder firmly in place while underway.

This is a universal-mount platform ladder intended for boats with a swim platform that can accept an under-platform mounted ladder; it is not tied to a specific boat make or engine.
