I have promised for a long time to post these pix of a re-thinking of the cockpit/deck ladder that someone made for me. It is brilliant and as I've mentioned before; beyond my abilities for design and manufacture. I take no credit for it other than I think it's perfect and hope someone can look at it and say ' ah-ha - and make one for themselves.
I was blown away at how clever it is and after seeing the concept, knew I could make something rather similar - just not as professional grade. The guy who made it for me is from this site and I don't want to give his info unless he chimes in on his own. All I can say is he is a very good guy ! And talented.
I have owned 2-3 of the OEM, plastic ladders and each has cracked in the same spot - where the step attaches/swivels on the side.
Note - the mechanism that allows the ladder to swivel -- ready - plastic bimini ends that attach to your boat when you have a bimini. That's the genious part... So simple but I would have never thought of it.
