Versatrack Boat Ladder

[jamokebob]

I looked high and low for a removable ladder to attach to the Versatrack on my 190TX. No luck to find something that I would not have to drill into the boat. So I decided to design my own and this week tested it on the lake. It worked perfect! I'm 180lbs but the rating should be up to 300. I've enclosed some pics and some links below to some of the parts.

Congratulations on the ladder.
I have an emergency ladder mounted to my transom but it is not for frequent use. Your solution makes it very easy to board yet can be removed anytime you don't need it. I have never heard of railblazausa. Looks like they have some very interesting hardware.

That is a pretty sweet ladder and an awesome idea that I am sure will be copied by quite a few of us!!

Looks like you mounted on side of boat? Would not work on rear?

There is not a versatrack on the rear of the boat.

Where did you get the clips on the ladder to hold the bottom section up from?

They were already installed on the ladder when it was purchased.

This looks like it would work great on my Tracker Proguide v16wt. One thing I don't understand is what and where are the hex screws and washers utilized? And how many of each do you need?

The ladder comes with two screws at the end of the loop that can be mounted with the provided captures (see below stock ladder pic). Unfortunately the screws are too large to go through the Railblazer adapter and the screws that come with the adapter are too small to attach to the ladder. The linked screws and washers go through the adapter and then screwed into the ladder. The screws that come with the adapter are removed and the special screws and washers are inserted from the other end of the adapter. These are special screws and washers to precisely fit inside of the adapter and then attach to the ladder. PM me if you need more info.
