Garelick 99187 Top Mount Ladder Bracket, Stainless Steel, 15 Degree, for Built-In Platforms and Euro-Style Boats

The Garelick 99187 Top Mount Ladder Bracket is a stainless steel mounting bracket built for boarding ladders installed on built-in swim platforms and Euro-style boats. It sets the ladder at a 15 degree mounting angle, allowing the ladder to sit cleanly against the transom or platform edge rather than at a straight vertical drop, which improves both fit and ease of boarding on boats with this style of platform. The bracket is manufactured from stainless steel for long-term resistance to corrosion in marine environments, standing up to repeated saltwater and freshwater exposure without the finish breaking down.

The 99187 utilizes component 99180, which is included with the ladder itself, so the bracket integrates directly with the ladder's existing hardware rather than requiring separate purchase of mating parts. It measures 6.25 inches wide by 4 inches high by 10 inches deep, giving it a low-profile footprint that mounts flush to the platform structure. Installation instructions are available for this bracket to guide correct placement and hardware torque during setup. This is a top-mount design specifically engineered for platforms and Euro-style hulls, distinct from transom-mounted or shim-style ladder hardware used on other boat configurations.
