Re: Installing under the platform swim ladder
 
I got the ladder from Boat US/West Marine. Yes , a friend of mine who used to be a machinist made them from 1" stainless stock.
After a number of years of searching this was the widest ladder I've found. The 4 step is wider that the three step because the add the forth step to the top and of course its larger in diameter.

I just moved mine to the other side.

Masi is that aftermarket exhaust on your boat?

I see the water draining out of the platform...Is that piped through the platform or is just through the platform like the factory setup? It sounds good!

Re: Installing under the platform swim ladder
 
Yes it is piped all the way, when the exhaust exits the transom it dumps into a stainless then into the pipes. The water you see coming out of the platform comes from holes I put in the .s.s box, then I drilled holes in the platform for extra drainage


Thanks 88 so far so good :drink:
