securing swim ladder

[marknmolly]

I'm replacing my swim ladder.

The current one is a flimsy one-step thing that folded up on to the fiberglass platform and was held with a nylon strap with a snap.

I'm going to put a Windline telescoping ladder on.

I know all of the new boats have a recessed area for the ladder, but mine obviously won't.

My question is, should I put some sort of rubber bumper or something for it to rest on, rather than the fiberglass? And, will it vibrate too much?

Re: securing swim ladder

I got some little clips from West Marine that secure my telescoping ladder in place. Get two, one for each side. Doesn't vibrate on my beast. 10 bucks at most.

You might need to surf deeper at this link, but this gets you to the right starting point:
