JIF Marine 5-Step Under Deck Pontoon Ladder CSD1-5, Flat Front Mount, Aluminum, 300 lb Capacity

The JIF Marine CSD1-5 is a 5-step under deck pontoon ladder built for a flat front mount, giving swimmers and boarders a safe, out-of-the-way way to get back on the boat. The ladder stores beneath the deck at the bow, so it stays hidden and out of the way when not in use, preserving a clean, clutter-free pontoon layout. When deployed, it extends down for water access away from the prop and motor, adding a layer of safety to reboarding.

Constructed from marine-grade aluminum, the CSD1-5 resists rust and corrosion in fresh and salt water conditions. The 5-step design gives an extended 59 inch reach, making it well suited to deeper water boarding or taller pontoons where a shorter ladder would not reach the waterline. It is rated for a 300 pound load capacity and includes mounting hardware for installation.

The flat front mounting configuration is designed to fit standard pontoon front decks, making the CSD1-5 a straightforward retrofit for pontoon boats that use a flat front deck panel. It is a practical upgrade for owners who want reliable water access without a ladder that stays visibly mounted on deck.
