tansom ladder

We found that mounting our cheap swim ladder (< $100) amid ships where our spinnaker pole is mounted works pretty well. A bungee cord or two on the top of the ladder and even a boat fender lashed around the water level of the ladder works best for me. I can't find the model we bought 4 years ago but here is a similar stowable model from WM which might serve well:
The reverse shear or cant of the transom and the presence of the exhaust pipe on the transom makes this an undiesireable location for a swim ladder; not that I swim off the boat much with the engine running, if ever. I think that the best and most expensive solution is to install a vane steering mechanism that would be mounted on the transom that would provide a means of climbing aboard from the water, a backup steering mechanism, and an autopilot all at once makes the most sense for the money but you could spend about 3 boat bucks ($3K) for something like that so I am sticking with my el-cheapo method for now. I am not sure if you have a spinnaker pole mounted on deck along port or stbd but this helps our swim ladder stay fairly straight. Good luck with your search and your mileage may vary.

开云体育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 ?

I have a ladder on the transom with extensions on the stand offs that rests against the hull, makeing it vertical. hope this helps, steve |
开云体育I use a ladder amidships. This is much safer.? In a rough setting the bow and stern are nothing you want to try to climb.? The starboard side is much easier to climb up and the ladder can be maneuvered with little adventure. ?
