Garelick Compact EEz-In II Transom Ladder, 3-Step Folding Boarding Ladder, 275 lb Capacity

The Garelick Compact EEz-In II Transom Ladder is a 3-step boarding ladder that stows completely within the transom and hull, keeping it invisible and out of the way until it is needed. A quick release ring with a self-locking latch lets you deploy the ladder from storage in seconds, and the anodized aluminum channel body swings out to a 15 degree angle for a comfortable, stable climb back aboard. Each of the 3 steps opens and closes independently, making unassisted reboarding easier for a swimmer or fallen crew member climbing alone.

The ladder channel body measures 32.5 inches deployed and rides in a 2 inch square channel, mounting through a transom plate measuring 5 inches high by 4.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep. It is rated to hold up to 275 lb and finished in white and black. Mounting requires a 3 inch diameter hole drilled through the transom at least 4 inches above the waterline, with 5/16 inch diameter through-bolt hardware (not included) and a backing plate for a secure, reinforced installation. The ladder includes the transom fixing bracket needed to complete the mount.
