Garelick 19812 2-Step Bass Boat Transom Ladder, Stainless Steel Quick Release Mount

The Garelick 19812 2-Step Bass Boat Transom Ladder is a compact boarding ladder built for bass boats and other low-transom fishing boats where a full-size ladder will not fit. It mounts to the stern of the boat and gives swimmers, anglers, and anyone who ends up overboard a fast, reliable way back into the boat. This is especially important in cold-weather conditions, when foul weather gear and waterlogged clothing make an unassisted re-entry over the gunwale nearly impossible.

The ladder measures 28 inches by 13 inches with a 2.25 inch diameter center post, and it is built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in fresh and salt water. Both steps have textured treads to keep footing secure when wet. A quick release mount lets the entire ladder be removed in seconds, which is useful when fishing or running with the ladder stowed rather than deployed. Installation hardware and a mounting bracket are included, and the ladder attaches to a standard transom mounting location that the installer chooses based on motor clearance and waterline height.

At 7 pounds, the Garelick 19812 is light enough to mount on smaller boats without adding significant stern weight, while still providing a secure boarding point. As with all transom ladders, it should never be used while the motor is running.
