Garelick 99183 Universal Transom Mounting Shim for Sport Dive Ladders

The Garelick 99183 is a universal transom mounting shim built for Garelick Sport Dive Ladders. It is a solid poly block that can be custom cut at the angle necessary to allow the ladder to be mounted at 15 degrees off vertical, making it the right solution for transoms and special-application mounting situations where a standard flat mount will not work. The shim measures 3.62 inches (9cm) wide, 2.75 inches (7cm) high, and 3 inches (7.5cm) deep, giving installers enough material to trim and shape for a precise fit against the transom surface.

This shim is used together with the stainless steel face plate included with the ladder, which sandwiches against the shim once it has been cut to the needed angle. It pairs with the 10 degree poly spacer (Garelick 99180) that ships with the ladder itself, allowing the complete mounting assembly to compensate for angled or non-vertical transoms. Because the block is solid poly, it can be shaped with common hand tools during installation rather than requiring a pre-molded, fixed-angle part.
