I tried posting this question under "Divers", but no response, so I'll try it here. Anyone familiar with the "Christmas tree" ladders for divers to climb while wearing fins? With full dive gear (dry suit), I'll weigh a total of around 350 lbs. Because of the extra weight, when mounting a ladder on transom, should I drill all the way through and bolt it on, or are the recommended screws sufficient? I was also wondering about the folding ladders for emergencies. They hang from a rope, have four steps, and are around 12" when not deployed. Would greatly appreciate any advice you all could offer on this.
