Lippert SureStep Free-Fit Pontoon Boat Ladder - Polished SS HandrailsLippert SureStep Free-Fit Pontoon Boarding Ladder provides a stable, stair-style way to get back aboard your pontoon from the water. Its angled five-step design becomes more stable as weight is applied, helping provide secure footing for kids, pets, older passengers, and other boaters.Five extra-wide steps feature slip-resistant treads and a deep-water reach of 42 inches, creating a more natural climbing motion compared with swinging or rope-style ladders. The extended top step provides additional room when transitioning from the ladder to the deck.The Free-Fit design features independently mounted handrails that can be positioned around rear-deck obstacles such as ski tow packages, deck trim, and other hardware. The wraparound receiver bracket accommodates pontoon decks up to 3.25 inches thick, while the easy-reach retraction strap allows the ladder to be stowed without bending or kneeling.A fully enclosed chain and hinge system helps reduce pinch points, minimize rattling, and keep weeds from collecting inside the mechanism. Marine-grade construction is designed to withstand harsh marine environments, while the self-draining design prevents water from collecting in the ladder. With a 400 lb. capacity and construction designed to meet ABYC standards, the SureStep Free-Fit provides dependable support for repeated use on the water.Installation hardware is not included.Product Features Independent Handrail Mounting: Separate handrails can be positioned to work around obstacles on the pontoon deck.; Stair-Style Design: Angled steps provide a more natural and stable climbing experience than swinging or free-hanging ladders.; Five Wide Steps: Extra-wide, slip-resistant steps provide comfortable and secure footing.; Extended Top Step: Provides additional space when transitioning from the ladder onto the deck.; 42-Inch Deep-Water Reach: Extended ladder height helps make reboarding easier from deeper water.; Enclosed Hinge System: Enclosed chain and hinge components help reduce pinch points, weed buildup, and stowed-ladder noise.; Easy-Retract Strap: Convenient strap allows the ladder to be pulled up from the deck without kneeling or bending.; Self-Draining Design: Helps prevent water from collecting in the ladder.; Flexible Installation: Designed to work around ski tow packages, deck trim, and other pontoon hardware.; Pontoon Deck Compatibility: Receiver bracket fits pontoon decks up to 3.25 inches thick.; 400 lb.
