Due to our boats' design we were having difficulty finding a ladder that would work. This one is perfect for use when swimming/boarding after using towables. Just recommend that the plates that are recommended for use with it would be included in the box. This would have been much more convenient than having to find and then drill matching holes. The tether used to hold the ladder up and secured to the boat needs to be longer/stronger. We had to purchase a better velcro strap to make sure it remained in a secure position and did not fall when traveling.

The ladder has a very good design and easy to use. The backing plates needed for installation are not included with the ladder. The ladder needs to have a higher capacity for larger people. The swing bracket seems flimsy and should have a larger bolt instead of the large rivet.

Comments about Garelick EEz-In Swinger Pontoon Boarding Ladder:
I purchased this product online and the transaction was simple to complete. I used the catalog to compare the products and settled on the EEz-in Swinger Pontoon Boarding Ladder by Garelick. The product description was right on the money, the price was right, and the product is everything I expected and more. The best part, was that it came, delivered to my home, within about three days. I am very happy with my purchase.
My son helped me install the ladder and I am pleased with it. It's well crafted, durable and sturdy, and it certainly makes it alot easier for my children and grandchildren to climb back onto the pontoon boat after jumping off into the lake to swim. We have had countless hours of use since it was installed. Thank you Overton's for providing such a superior quality product !!!

everything about this ladder is great except the sharp edges left on the punchings. They should be deburred so somebody doesn't cut themselves.

This ladder is very convenient, sturdy, nice appearance. It so easy to fold out of the way when not using. I highly recommend it for use on a pontoon.

Comments about Garelick EEz-In Swinger Pontoon Boarding Ladder:
I was looking for something that I could use to get on and off my pontoon while in the middle of the lake. My only options were an under the deck ladder or this swing out of the way ladder. I chose the swing out of the way ladder and I know that I will be pleased with it. It is attractive and easy to install. All I would suggest is to include backing plates. But that won't keep me from recommending this ladder to anyone.

Comments about Garelick EEz-In Swinger Pontoon Boarding Ladder:
The instsructions were clear, parts were all there, great unit. The velcro tie strap could have been a little sturdier. It would work fine for just sitting still but for roading the boat we attached a heavier strap. But the functtionality of the ladder, its lightweight and it construction make it an excellent buy.

Question: is the mounting point near the bottom (deck) of the gate opening and it folds up to form a gate when not in use as a ladder?Asked on 12/8/2009 by Captain Fred from Brookfield, CT (Candlewood Lake)1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
I am sorry about that. You are correct though this ladder mounts around the deck of the boat and flip up and swing to one side so that you can can get the ladder out of the way for boarding and getting off the boat.Answered on 12/9/2009 by Justin from Overton's

Q:
does it bolt to side of boat?Asked on 8/30/2009 by Anonymous1 answer

This item takes the place of a gate on a pontoon boat. So it bolts to the railing.Answered on 9/2/2009 by Chad @ Overton's from Greenville, NC

Q:
when the ladder is in the up and locked position for storage does is sit flush with the railing or would in interfere with the cover on the boat.Asked on 5/15/2009 by Anonymous1 answer
A:
Well it says that it is 36" tall. So it will obviously be taller than your pontoon fencing. But it is mounted OUTSIDE the fence, so the ladder would be outside your cover. GoodluckAnswered on 6/23/2009 by Brett the GREAT from Ontario
