4-Step Stainless Steel Sliding Dive Ladder - Telescoping Ladder for Pontoon Boat, 900 lb Capacity

Good ladder. My father in law is over 200lbs and holds up to him no problem

Easy to deploy and bring up. Mount does not hang over the edge which is a real plus

Good quality, and stylish looks with the shiny Chrome, it would be great on the back of a ski boat or runabout, where you are installing it to the underside of a flat fiberglass plate or deck. But most pontoon boats have a 4 inch tall aluminum bumper all the way around the boat. So if you screw this to the underside of the deck, you can't pull out the ladder. (Notice there are four photos of this product installed on a boat. NONE of them are pontoon boats.) Alternatively, you could mount it to the aluminum cross runners in the base, but the runners are only one inch wide, and the holes are two inches apart. So at best you could only use four of the eight mounting holes. MAYBE that would work, but I have trouble believing it would still hold 600 pounds. It looks to me like it would require a special mounting bracket to do it properly, and that might cost more than the ladder itself. For my pontoon boat, I returned this telescoping version, and purchased the Aluminum “fixed ladder” version (non-telescoping) that takes into account the four-inch bumper on most pontoon boats.

Easy installation

Minted on the front of my pontoon as another means of getting onboard from swimming.

Nice but a little small I sent mine back too small for me

I could not find the exact replacement for my 46 foot Maxum, but this gem did the trick and for the right price. I could not tell you many times and hundreds of miles I drug this thing behind the boat forgetting to stow it, but it handled it fine. Seems sturdy enough, but I would not abuse it.

For the price it’s a good ladder. I had it welded to a base matching my bolt pattern.
