## Description

desertcart.com: Amarine Made 4 Step Stainless Steel Telescoping Boat Ladder Swim Step : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Solidly Made Ladder with a Nice Bright Finish - Bought this for my Catalina 22 sailboat transom. Ladder is quite heavy and has a well made appearance. The stainless is bright and shiny giving the appearance of a more expensive ladder. How well the finish will hold up long term remains to be seen. Welds are neat and professional. Steps are covered with a plastic covering that is flat on top and has a modest embedded tread pattern. Easier on your feet than those round rungs. They hurt! The brackets for bolting fast are a solid feeling 1/16" thick stainless. Brackets are really set up for "over the top mounting" in my view. In my case the ladder will hang on the brackets. I did not like the hole positioning for the hanging use. Holes are too close to the bottom of the bracket so I drilled an additional hole higher up and will mount it there. The provided holes don't provide enough support towards the top. No hardware is provided. You must buy your own stainless bolts. Four are required. Brackets are pre-drilled with two holes as 5/16 ths inch. Initially the collapse feature seems a bit sticky. Will salt water make it worse?? Don't know ... Maybe it will loosen up in time. If you are doing a transom mount as I am, the provided brackets provide almost no "toe room" on a near vertical transom. I am installing 3/4" Starboard spacers under my brackets to create just a bit of stand off from the transom. Thicker might be required but 3/4 is what I have on hand. Inch or even inch and a quarter would probably be better. Consider if your transom is vertical, angled in or angled back. In the hanging mode the ladder is free to clunk and swing. Some sort of stop or bumper may have to be made. The brackets could also be squeezed some. If you have a stern rail you could tie it up but it might not be pretty. I'll be making a bumper as necessary. This is a very nice ladder over all from outward appearances. You'll have to make it work for you as I have. UPDATE: After mounting the ladder on my Catalina 22 I have found that the ladder tends to swing in towards the transom with weight on it. This happens with the boat on the trailer. The result is a reduction in "toe room" despite the addition of the 3/4" spacers. Something will need to be added to stop the ladder from swinging in against the transom. How it will act with the boat floating I'm not sure.
Review: Perfect for pontoon boats and those who enjoy swimming in deep water - Although this doesn't come with bolts and washers (these are cheap anyway and most any hardware store has them), it's very easy to install on a pontoon boat to make it easier and more enjoyable swimming in deep water. It folds all the way up and goes onto the deck platform in a very compact way. I've made light jumps (low power) off of it to quickly immerse myself to adjust to the water temperature and I'm about 170 pounds. It holds very well and is very sturdy. After a while of swimming in water 50 feet deep, it's easy enough to just hold onto the ladder to rest before swimming out again. I love this ladder (and, of course, swimming) and if you love swimming and have a pontoon (or similar) boat, this is perfect! I do, on occasion, step down too far and end up falling, going under, but that's a minor issue, especially if you're a good swimmer. Just be careful and feel downward before making that next step down.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hold up in Salt Water?**
A: Yes

**Q: What's the weight limit for this?**
A: The product description didn't have a weight limit, my husband is 200 lbs. and it hold him.

**Q: Does this ladder have a warranty?**
A: I do not remember one being supplied, but I have used mine for years with no issues. I believe you will know of it will have any issues when you first install it, which would be under the return time frame. Have not been disappointed in the the purchase and the wife thinks I am a hero every time she has to get back in the boat from swimming..

**Q: will this work for a 17.5 Bayliner**
A: This will probably work for you. Look at the pictures that reviewers have posted for this and similar ladders with 3 steps and figure out if you have a place you can mount it. I had a 3 step ladder like this I bought to put on the bow of my boat but it wasn't long enough to go deep into the water but this 4 step worked out great for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Broken ladder? Do yourself a favor. BUY
*by J***E on May 21, 2025*

Very sturdy- you might need to go get some hardware (screws, bolts and loctite) but the ladder itself is going to do us wonders
