User questions & answers

Question:	Does this ladder collapse for storage? If not, what are it’s dimensions? The description states it’s designed for bass boats and that’s my intendeduse
Answer:	It fit my granddaughter, age 7, perfectly. I would guess it would fit some 6yr olds, and guess up to 9 yrs old, depending on head size. I believe there's a chart (either on Amazon or available from the vendor) that shows what measurements it will fit.
Question:	The photo clearly shows 4 steps. But the description says 3 steps. Which is it
Answer:	To choose a suitable size you should measure the distance from the chin to the bridge of the nose as shown on the picture of the description. The width of the face does not matter much. After your measurements choose the correct size according to the description his face as in one of the pictures (10-12 cm or 4-4.8" is S/M) & if (>12cm or >4.8" is L/XL). If your face is not bigger than 12cm you should be fine with S/M size.
Question:	What is the weight capacity
Answer:	Hi， Thank you for your question, that will be great to follow the instructions on the third image in the product description. Best, G2RISE Service Team

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit a tracker pro
Answer:	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.
Question:	Would this work on a rubber inflatable boat
Answer:	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..

Question:	Would this work for a paddle boat
Answer:	This ladder will not go under the boat it is structural straight down.
Question:	Need a ladder to climb into a Sunfish from the water; what do you recommend
Answer:	Steve, Not sure what you are asking but I'll try to explain how they are constructed and attached. Each step is welded to two round telescoping poles. One step for each set of poles and two steps telescope in and out of the other poles. The Velcro strap stops the steps from telescoping, remove the strap to open the steps. The entire ladder is attached to a platform by two screws or bolts through a bracket for each side of poles. The poles pivot on a single bolt in the attachable brackets.
Question:	What is the length of the ladder from the bottom rung to the top rung? 2. What is the length of the ladder from the top rung to the end of the rope
Answer:	Only if the ladder is mounted under the platform. However, all the stress and weight of the person would then be placed on the nuts and bolts insead of the ladder lever and platform. It is best for the ladder to be installed on top like it was meant to be.

User questions & answers

Question:	My old boat ladder had a mounting bolt pattern of 13-1/4". What is the width of this ladders mounting bolt pattern

Question:	How much space is between the flange that bolts to the deck floor and the inside of the ladder rails
Answer:	It fits most boats. The hooks are 10.5" wide and 7.5" tall with 12.5" between the two hooks. Hope that helps!

Answer:	The u-shape is 7.5 and 11 to first step from top. The u-shape opening is 10.5. Hope that helps.
Question:	Can I purchase the u-clip that holds the ladder up as a seperate replacment item? My clip cracked. Thanks
Answer:	I dont know the exact size i bought but i would just get 1" round head phillips and takes 8 total and just drill a pilot hole smaller than the screw thread any hardware store will help with the correct drill size for the screw and use stainless only. ladder is great and mines in saltwater use. use boaters 5200 white sealer behind it to keep water out of the transom.
