The 5-step ladder is molded in high-visibility orange polycarbonate, with a nylon rope supporting the frame between steps for flexibility and compact storage. It secures quickly to cleats, railings, stanchions, and halyards, making it a practical option for boats without a fixed swim ladder or as a backup safety device. The ladder supports up to 300 lbs and folds flat when not in use, so it can be stowed in a small locker or storage bag without taking up significant space. Because it is injection molded rather than welded or riveted, it resists corrosion in salt and fresh water environments better than uncoated metal ladders. Sea-Dog also offers this same folding ladder design in a 4-step (582502-1) and 3-step (582503-1) version, and sells the individual step (0P58202) and separator tube (0P58203) as separate replacement parts, so a damaged component can be replaced without buying a whole new ladder. This ladder is intended as a general boarding and emergency aid rather than a fitment-specific replacement part, so it works across boat types rather than being tied to a particular make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 582501-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folding Boarding Ladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Injection Molded Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-visibility orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.47 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension A:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension B:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 feet 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension D:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 feet 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cleats, railings, stanchions, halyards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a portable, universal boarding ladder that attaches to cleats, railings, stanchions, or halyards rather than a boat-specific mount, so it is not limited to a particular make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many steps does the Sea-Dog 582501-1 folding ladder have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 582501-1 is a 5-step folding boarding ladder, the largest in Sea-Dog's folding ladder lineup alongside the 4-step 582502-1 and 3-step 582503-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat weight can this ladder hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 582501-1 folding ladder supports up to 300 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the folding ladder made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of injection molded, high-visibility orange polycarbonate, with a nylon rope supporting the frame between the steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Sea-Dog folding ladder attach to the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It secures quickly to cleats, railings, stanchions, or halyards, allowing it to be deployed without permanent hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ladder fold flat for storage?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 582501-1 folds flat for compact storage when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sea-Dog 582501-1 ladder weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This folding ladder weighs 2.47 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 582501-1 folding ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 582501-1 measures 6 inches by 11-3\/4 inches, with an extended length of 3 feet 2 inches and a folded length of 2 feet 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan individual parts of the ladder be replaced if damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Sea-Dog sells a replacement step (0P58202) and a replacement separator tube (0P58203) as separate parts for this folding ladder line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 582501-1, 582502-1, and 582503-1 ladders?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 582501-1 has 5 steps, the 582502-1 has 4 steps, and the 582503-1 has 3 steps;
