JIF Marine FOG4 4-Step Under Platform Sliding Boat Ladder, Stainless Steel 316
The JIF Marine FOG4 is a 4-step under platform sliding ladder built from electropolished stainless steel 316, designed to mount underneath a swim platform or under a pontoon boat deck on the side or bow. The steps telescope down for easy deployment and slide back up out of the way when not in use, keeping the ladder hidden and the platform area clear. Each step uses a flat poly tread for added footing comfort, and a securing strap is included to hold the ladder in its stowed position. The ladder has a 400 pound load capacity, giving it the strength to support adult swimmers and boarders returning to the boat. Overall dimensions are 34.5 inches long by 11.5 inches wide by 15 inches high, and the unit weighs 11 pounds. Mounting hardware is not included, so buyers should have appropriate fasteners on hand for their platform or deck material. The stainless steel 316 construction resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments, making this ladder suited to long-term marine use on boats and pontoons.
