Need a ladder
 

Anyone know who makes the stock ladder for a 2001 353 Fastec? Mine came with no ladder and I'd like to replace it. I did a search but couldn't find it.

Anyone?

Check with magicfloat, He should be able to help or call Formula

Is it the same as a 97 312 fastech? that goes up on the swim platform under tha hatch?

Well I found out the ladder that should be on the boat is a custom tri fold, part #8498. Retail is $896:eek: Anyone have a used one in good shape?

Try Hi-Tec Stainless in Michigan

I got a new ladder from my local dealer. I installed it, but the bottom steps fold forward (down/in towards the transom) as opposed to aft or up when stowing the ladder, is this correct? How do your ladders hinge when stowing?

You must have done the same thing I did this passed weekend! I will never count on someone else to put it up. I was able to fix mine. I got lucky.

sleek1, Yes, that is the way they are.. We don't, even use the ladder on ours, for that reason, it sucks!. Poor design. I liked the one, on my 303 much better.

Thanks for the replies, I was starting to feel I had inept mechanical skills. One last question, am I supposed to put silicone or something in the bolt holes to keep water from penetrating the swim platform or is that overkill?
