Garelick 2-Step Bass Boat Transom Ladder

Not only are bass boat ladders a convenience for boaters, it is also a great safety feature to have on your bass boat. Imagine an accident happening and you and your passengers ending up overboard. In the winter months, you are likely outfitted with foul weather gear that can weigh you down, trying to pull yourself back in the boat with no ladder would be nearly impossible. This is where a boat transom ladder could help. These ladders attach or hook to the stern of the boat and allow for easier re-entry back into the vessel.

The Garelick 2-Step Bass Boat Transom Ladder is a compact option with 2 steps and simply removed with its quick release mount. The steps are easy to climb and have textured treads for added safety. Installation is straightforward, and the bass boat ladder comes with hardware and brackets.

Features:

Compact 2-step for low transoms

Quick release mount for easy removal when fishing or underway

Easy to climb with textured treads

Measures 28" by 13" with 2.25" diameter center

Mounting hardware and bracket included

How to Mount a Garelick 2 Step Bass Boat Transom Ladder

Mounting Instructions

Choose the most suitable side of the  transom for mounting the bass boat ladder.

Locate a place on the transom where the ladder will mount and not interfere with the turning and lowering operation of your motor. Determine the actual waterline when the boat is at rest. Mark this location in both the horizontal and vertical direction

Locate the bass boat ladder on this mark and slide it up to the desired mounting height. It is optimal to have at least two steps in the water for ease of boarding.

Mark the ladder’s potion at the top of mounting bolt.

NOTE: This line will locate the top two holes for the mounting plate.

Check the inside of the transom where the mounting is proposed. Verify that there is ample space to install a backing plate (minimum size 4” x 5 ½”) that will support the ladder installation

A 4” x 5 ½” minimum flat area or the size of your backing plate is required for a secure installation.

NOTE: The backing plate should be made of either aluminum, marine plywood or some other suitable non-compressive material

Mark four mounting plate hole locations on your transom or transom extension bracket using the plate as your template.

NOTE: It may be necessary to make an external shim or modify the mounting substrate to achieve the proper ascent angle (5 to 10 degrees) for your ladder. Drill one 11/32” or 3/8” hole through your transom, noting the angle of the mounting substrate hole. These holes are perpendicular to the mounting face plate, not the transom. When drilling, this hole angle should be used to insure a proper installation. Place the mounting substrate and faceplate against the boat and loosely mount it with the hardware that you have selected for proper installation.

Level the bracket, mark and drill the next hole. Check the ladder for level, make adjustments if necessary and then drill the other two holes.

Loosen the mounting faceplate enough to install roll pin into the mounting substrate. Place the locking bar into the substrate.

NOTE: The notch in the bar faces down. Slide the locking bar’s operation to insure it slides back and stops.

Put a bead of adhesive caulk around the perimeter of the mounting holes and all edges of the mounting substrate, coat the bolt threads with anti-seize compound and secure the mounting substrate in place by tightening all four mounting bolts.

Mount securing clips at desired location with selected stainless steel hardware. This will insure that the ladder will not rotate or slide when boat is underway.

Safety:

Do not use when motor is running.

Mounting Instructions

HOW TO MOUNT GARELICK COMPACT EEZ-IN II TRANSOM LADDER

Mounting Instructions

Choose the most suitable side of your transom for mounting the ladder. Locate a flat surface (4 ½” wide x 5” high) where the ladder will not interfere with the turning of the motor or be excessively close to the propeller of your boat.

Make sure that the location will be a minimum of 4” ABOVE the waterline at the bottom of the faceplate/assembly and in an area where there are NO electrical wires, hydraulic hoses, water hoses or steering cables.

Check to see that the transom area is sufficiently strong enough to support the ladder while it is in use. If necessary, a backing plate may need to be installed to reinforce the area.

Drill a 3” diameter hole in the transom, making sure it is parallel to the waterline.

Place the ladder assembly into the hole and mark the four faceplate mounting hole’s locations.

Drill the holes for appropriate 5/16” diameter hardware (not included).

NOTE: It is preferred to through-bolt the assembly for a secure installation (use locknuts and backing washers)

Caulk the entire area to be mounted and insert the ladder. Secure in place with the selected mounting hardware.

Secure the far end of the ladder to the boat with a strap or some other means to keep the ladder tube in place (not provided as all installations may vary).

Maintenance:

Regular fresh water rinsing and periodic cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner will help retain lustre and help reduce corrosion.

Periodically check mounting hardware and re-tighten (due to normal boat operation).

Safety:

Never operate your boat with the ladder in “down” position. Serious injury or damage to your boat or ladder may result.
