MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for selecting our superior quality Garelick
EEz-In Brand Boarding Ladder. Your ladder was
designed and manufactured using the finest material
available to provide long product life. Choosing the
proper size ladder for location and correct fit is
important to assure safe, convenient, and reliable use.
To select the proper length ladder, choose one that
allows at least two steps under water when ladder is
deployed.
Choose the most suitable side of your transom platform
for mounting the ladder. When mounting, locate a
place where the ladder will not interfere with the
turning of the motor or be near the propeller of your
craft.
See Figure 1
1. Using the gudgeon as a template, mark the four
bracket holes on the platform for drilling at desired
location. NOTE: Make certain that the brackets
are located on a strong, solid surface of the
platform. If this is not possible, use a backing
plate as shown to make the platform strong enough
for mounting.
2. Drill the four marked holes with a suitable drill bit,
making sure to keep the drill perpendicular to the
platform’s surface.
3. Mount the ladder to the platform with fasteners
suitable for your particular installation.
4. Periodically check fasteners for tightness and
polish the stainless steel with a suitable marine
grade polish to increase longevity.
Fold ladder up and secure when underway.
MAINTENANCE
•
Keep that bright finish!
Local weather conditions may contribute to
minor corrosion. Stainless, like other metals, is
not completely free from corrosion attack.
Regular fresh water rinsing and periodic cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleaner will help to retain
lustre.
•
