The steps extend smoothly for boarding and telescope closed when not in use, keeping the deck clear and reducing onboard clutter. Constructed from 1 inch diameter electroplated stainless steel tubing, the ladder is engineered to resist rust, corrosion, and general marine wear in both freshwater and saltwater environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounting is handled by vinyl-coated folding hooks that fold flat for storage and protect the boat's finish while keeping the ladder securely positioned over the gunwale. Cushioned stainless steel standoffs hold the ladder against the hull, preventing scratches and pressure marks during use and while underway. With a 400 pound load capacity and mounting hardware included, the DUF4 gives swimmers, kids, and adults alike a dependable way to re-board at sandbars, swim stops, and everyday boating outings. At a total height down of 51 inches and 16 inches wide, it suits a range of deck heights common on pontoon and runabout applications.\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 DUF4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pontoon Swim Ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electroplated 304 stainless steel tubing with vinyl-coated hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height (Down):\u003c\/strong\u003e 51 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Telescoping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many steps does the JIF Marine DUF4 ladder have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DUF4 is a 4-step telescoping ladder, giving swimmers a full set of rungs for climbing back aboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the total height of the DUF4 ladder when extended down?\u003c\/strong\u003e 51 inches is the total height down for the JIF Marine DUF4, measured from the top mounting point to the bottom step in its extended position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight can this ladder support?\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 400 pounds, making the DUF4 suitable for swimmers of varying sizes boarding one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the JIF Marine DUF4 ladder made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Electroplated 304 stainless steel tubing, 1 inch in diameter, chosen for corrosion resistance in both freshwater and saltwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the DUF4 come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, mounting hardware is included with the JIF Marine DUF4, so no separate hardware purchase is needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the mounting hooks scratch or mark my boat's hull?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the DUF4's folding hooks are vinyl-coated specifically to protect the boat's finish where they contact the gunwale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the DUF4 stay stable against the hull during use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Cushioned stainless steel standoffs hold the ladder against the hull, preventing scratches and pressure marks while keeping it steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this ladder be stored compactly when not in use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the JIF Marine DUF4 uses a telescoping step design that collapses down for compact storage, and its mounting hooks fold flat as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the width of the DUF4 ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches wide, per the JIF Marine DUF4 product dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the JIF Marine DUF4 ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver, matching its electroplated stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the DUF4 a good fit for pontoon boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the DUF4 telescoping design is built for pontoons and runabouts, offering a boarding solution that extends for use and retracts for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JIF Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025246068955,"sku":"JIF-DUF4","price":281.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61ETbuDpBwL.jpg?v=1785331086","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/jif-marine-duf4-4-step-telescoping-pontoon-swim-ladder-stainless-steel-400-lb-capacity","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
