Glad your okay there LD. And thanks for sharing, cause you're right; under slightly different circumstances; things could've been a lot worse.:-(

After a lot of research for boarding ladders; I settled on the 'All Aboard Ladder' (link below). I have no dog in this hunt or direct interest in which ladder anyone picks; except I think every bassboat should have some type of boarding ladder.

The 'All aboard Ladder' works great for our family when swimming too. Simple install on the jackplate, NO drilling, made locally, rock solid design and the company owner was great to work with and can even configure the ladder with lots of options if you want. But, all I had to do was tell him my boat year, make and model and the thing fit perfect and installed in minutes. It's simple to deploy by pushing a button on the side of the ladder; it easily slides right down to where you need it; once in the boat; grab the ladder with one hand and slide it right back up and it locks back into place. So simple our 7-year daughters deploy and retract it when swimming!........We couldnt be more thrilled with the purchase; worth every penny.:-)

As always, stay safe out there!
