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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SM-3X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Steps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.25 inches wide x 35 inches high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extendable, slide mount telescoping design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many steps does the Windline SM-3X ladder have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SM-3X is a 3-step ladder, built to slide up and tuck away when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the SM-3X ladder made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of thick wall stainless steel, which resists corrosion in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the Windline SM-3X ladder mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a slide mount design intended to attach to a swim platform or transom, with each step sliding up into the step above and stowing under the platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this boat ladder?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Windline SM-3X measures 12.25 inches wide with a maximum extended height of 35 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SM-3X ladder weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This stainless steel ladder weighs 10.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the ladder stay locked in place when stowed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SM-3X includes a nylon lock strap that secures the ladder in its stowed position so it stays out of the way while underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colors is the SM-3X available in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Windline SM-3X is offered in black and silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SM-3X ladder extendable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it features an extendable telescoping slide design where each step slides up into the one above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this ladder work on any boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SM-3X is a slide mount swim platform\/transom ladder suited to boats with a compatible mounting surface for this style of ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SM-3X resistant to rust in saltwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the stainless steel construction of the SM-3X is designed to hold up in both fresh and saltwater marine conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Windline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033324200155,"sku":"WIN-SM-3X","price":246.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31YnjLVltCL.jpg?v=1785244750","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/windline-3-step-slide-mount-boat-ladder-stainless-steel-telescoping-platform-ladder","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
