Lippert SureStep Free-Fit Pontoon Boat Ladder - Powder-Coated Steel HandrailsLippert SureStep Free-Fit Pontoon Boat Ladder provides a more natural and stable way to climb back aboard from the water. Its angled stair-style design becomes more stable as weight is applied, helping provide secure footing for kids, pets, older passengers, and other boaters.Five extra-wide, slip-resistant steps provide a comfortable climb and a 42-inch deep-water reach. The extended top step offers additional space when transitioning onto the deck, while the easy-pull retraction strap makes it easier to stow the ladder without bending or kneeling.The SureStep Free-Fit features independently mounted black powder-coated steel handrails that can be positioned separately along the C-channel. This flexible design allows the handrails to be installed around rear-deck obstacles such as ski tow packages, deck trim, and other hardware. The ladder is designed for pontoon decks up to 3.25 inches thick.A fully enclosed chain and hinge system helps reduce pinch points, prevent weeds from collecting, and minimize rattling when the ladder is stowed. The self-draining design helps prevent water from being retained, while marine-grade construction is designed for long-term use in demanding marine environments.Rated for up to 400 lbs. and designed to meet ABYC standards, the Lippert SureStep Free-Fit provides a stable reboarding solution with flexible handrail placement for a wide range of pontoon layouts.Installation hardware is not included.Product Features Independent Handrail Mounting: Separate handrails can be positioned along the C-channel to accommodate different pontoon deck layouts.; Black Powder-Coated Steel Handrails: Durable handrails provide support while complementing the ladder's marine design.; Obstacle-Friendly Installation: Handrail placement can accommodate ski tow packages, deck trim, and other rear-deck obstacles.; Stair-Style Stability: Angled steps provide a more natural climbing motion and become more stable under load.; Five Extra-Wide Steps: Slip-resistant steps provide comfortable and secure footing while climbing.; Extended Top Step: Provides additional room for a more comfortable transition from the ladder to the deck.; 42-Inch Deep-Water Reach: Extended ladder height helps reduce difficult knee-to-chin climbing.; Easy-Pull Retraction Strap: Makes it easier to stow the ladder from the deck without bending or kneeling.; Fully Enclosed Chain and Hinge System: Helps reduce pinch points, prevent weed buildup, and minimize rattling when stowed.; Self-Draining Design: Helps prevent water from collecting in the ladder.; Pontoon Deck Compatibility: Designed for pontoon decks up to 3.25 inches thick.; 400 lb.
