JIF Marine ETC3 3-Step Telescoping Under Platform Drop Ladder, Stainless Steel, 400 lb Capacity

The JIF Marine ETC3 is a 3-step telescoping drop ladder built to mount under a boat's swim platform or deck, keeping the ladder out of sight and off the swim area until it is needed. Rather than staying fixed in place, the ladder slides and drops down when deployed, then telescopes back up and stows neatly beneath the platform when not in use. A quick-lock strap holds it securely in the stowed position while underway, so it will not rattle or shift in rough water.

The ladder is built from electropolished 304 stainless steel, giving it resistance to corrosion from both saltwater and freshwater exposure over time. Its three steps are wide with a textured, non-skid surface, giving swimmers and boarders secure footing as they climb in and out of the water. The ETC3 is rated to support up to 400 pounds and measures 39 inches in overall (deployed) height, with a stowed height of 21 inches and a width of 11.75 inches. Mounting hardware is included, so the ladder can be installed under the platform without sourcing separate fasteners.

This ladder fits any boat with a swim platform or deck suitable for an under-mount telescoping ladder; it is not tied to a specific boat make, model, or engine.
