Stowable Pontoon Boat Ladder

Flush Mounting Cup Installation:

• Open the pontoon fence gate on one side of your pontoon boat.
• On the deck of the pontoon measure the bottom opening width. (From fixed fence post to fixed fence post)
• Divide the width by 2 to find the center measure of the gate opening.
• From one end of the gate opening measure out to the distance found after dividing the total opening width by 2 in the above step. (For example: If your total opening width was 28"(in) then measure 14"(in) from one end of the fence opening to find the center) Mark this point with an object, such as a screw or a pencil.
• The inner width between the ladder's vertical tubes is about 12"(in) - The outer width is about 14"(in)
• The ladder's vertical tubing is 1"(in) in diameter.
• Given this we now know that the distance to the center of each tube is 13"(in)
• So from your marked center point measure 6-1/2"(in) in both directions and mark. Or place your tape measure with your marked center point at 6-1/2"(in) and make one mark at the start of the tape and another mark at the 13"(in) hash.
• By doing the above step you have now found the center point of where the flush mounting cup should be installed.
• Now that you have found the position, right to left, that the cups should be installed you must measure the depth at which they should be placed. Or the distance from the edge of the pontoon deck inward.
• Both of the marks that you have made in the above steps should be about 5-1/2"(in) inward from the edge of the pontoon deck. You my use a square or anything with a right-angle to transfer your original marks forward or back until you achieve the right depth. The depth measurements may vary from boat to boat, just make sure that both mounting cups are the same distance from the edge of the deck.
• Once your center points are marked place the center point of your hole saw on each mark and drill out an opening into the deck.
• Once your holes are drilled you may insert the recessed mounting cups and secure down with the 6 phillips head screws that were included with your ladder.
• Now you may go and enjoy the rest of your day out on the water.

Ladder Installation:

• Ladder must be mounted on side of pontoon boat to allow the mid-section of the ladder to rest against the side of the pontoon tube or "toon". (See the "Images" tab above for reference)
• Mounting cups may be recessed and installed to either side of your pontoon boat. Extra mounting cups are available above and will be needed if you plan on using this ladder on multiple sides of your pontoon boat. Two (2) flush ladder mounting cups and needed hardware are included with purchase of each Fold & Stow Pontoon Ladder.
