Sceptre or Tsunami cabin ladder

Gotcha. Well, let's keep in youch about it. It seems as if we both have the need for it. I just wish there was a way to repair mine and be on my way !

Out of curiosity, where does the ladder go when not in use?

[abl1111]

It's a little bit of a PITA. It folds up and is fairly light, but it basically lays in the cabin. I have been thinking of a way of securing where it is out of the way, but my ladder is not functioning right, so it is on the back-burner for now.

Either way, it is the best way to get on the deck and I leave it mounted almost always - unless I have a lot of stuff I need to cram into the cabin. Nothing worse than needing to get on the deck QUICK and have to jump up and through the window - the ladder lets you literally run through the window without thought.

Hi Jim,
don't know if mine was origional or not because I got rid of it but mine was a Garelick brand with two steps. At the windsheild was a hinged teak board that dropped down and had stainless slots in it for the ladder to slide into. You could remove the ladder and side it into duplicate slots on either side of the cockpit coaming to use it for boarding. By the way I sold the 20 Sceptre, its in Conn. now completely rigged with a new 140 Suzi. Came out really nice.
