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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e JIF Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e FGB3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Step Locking Side Mount Telescoping Ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electropolished 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTread Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat poly treads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Side mount, telescoping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the load capacity of the JIF Marine FGB3 ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JIF Marine FGB3 3-Step Locking Side Mount Telescoping Ladder is rated for a 400 pound load capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can this ladder be mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The FGB3 is designed for side or bow mounting, and it also works under swim platforms or under a pontoon boat deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the FGB3 ladder made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from electropolished 316 stainless steel, which resists corrosion in marine environments and has a bright, polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ladder lock in place when extended?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the FGB3 is a locking telescoping ladder, so it secures in the extended position for boarding and does not need to be held in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many steps does the FGB3 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e This telescoping ladder has 3 steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the ladder treads made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The FGB3 uses flat poly treads on each step, which are more comfortable underfoot than bare metal rungs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the FGB3 ladder weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JIF Marine FGB3 weighs 9.25 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ladder be stowed when not in use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because it is a telescoping design, the FGB3 retracts into a compact, stowed position when it is not needed for boarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the FGB3 suitable for pontoon boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the FGB3 is suitable for mounting under a pontoon boat deck in addition to side or bow mounting on other boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the manufacturer part number for this ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer part number is FGB3, made by JIF Marine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JIF Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025250230491,"sku":"JIF-FGB3","price":412.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/img_0f17f877-4dea-4630-8956-f9d2cbabb1ad.jpg?v=1785332725","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/jif-marine-3-step-locking-side-mount-telescoping-boat-ladder-316-stainless-steel-400-lb-capacity","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
