Windline 3-Step Slide Mount Boat Ladder, Stainless Steel Telescoping Platform Ladder

The Windline SM-3X is a 3-step slide mount boat ladder built from thick wall stainless steel for durable, corrosion-resistant use on the water. Designed to mount to a swim platform or transom, this ladder uses a telescoping slide design where each step slides up into the step above it and tucks beneath the platform when not in use, keeping the swim area clear and reducing tripping hazards while underway. When deployed, it extends down to provide a stable 3-step climb for boarding from the water. A nylon lock strap secures the ladder in its stowed position so it stays locked out of the way during travel. The stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in both fresh and saltwater environments, making it suited to long-term marine use. With an overall footprint of 12.25 inches wide and a maximum extended height of 35 inches, the SM-3X fits typical swim platform and transom mounting applications where a compact, slide-away ladder is needed. This ladder is a straightforward retrofit or new-install option for boat owners who want reliable, low-maintenance boarding access without a bulky fixed ladder taking up transom space.
