I have mine mounted amid ships off the cockpit.? On the starboard side.? I use the WM collapsible with the brackets that are permanently mounted.? I keep it out of harms way in the aft lazarette.? I added a cheap shackle and some line to it so that it is secured to the life line or stanchion base *before* being deployed.? It’s already saved the ladder once.

?

Word to the wise.? Mount it as a “drop in” as opposed to slide in.? Mine is currently slide in and has a nasty habit of sliding out if you are trying to board with wave action.

?

One other reason to stay off the transom is that it pitches in any waves.? This makes it very hazardous to attempt to board, even with the engine off.? Although I have to admit the smell of diesel is pretty alluring.? J? (I have a Volvo POS MD6A that was cursed on me).? All Volvos have the POS feature.? You simply need to try to work on it to understand why it’s not a pile of sugar.? J
