JIF Marine 3-Step Locking Side Mount Telescoping Boat Ladder, 316 Stainless Steel, 400 lb Capacity

The JIF Marine 3-Step Locking Side Mount Telescoping Ladder (FGB3) is a boarding ladder designed to mount on the side or bow of a boat, including under swim platforms or under a pontoon boat deck. It telescopes down for use and locks in place, then retracts for a low-profile stowed position when not needed. The ladder is built from electropolished 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a clean, bright finish, and its three steps use flat poly treads that improve footing comfort compared to bare metal rungs. The ladder is rated for a 400 pound load capacity, making it suitable for boarders of varying sizes. Its side-mount, telescoping design lets it tuck close to the hull or platform structure, and the locking feature holds the ladder securely in the extended position while boarding. At 9.25 pounds, it is light enough for straightforward installation without adding significant weight to the mounting location. This ladder is a good fit for boat owners who want a compact, corrosion-resistant boarding solution for a side, bow, swim platform, or pontoon deck mounting location.
