405 Swim ladder
My 3 rung swim ladder was damaged when I bought the boat so I removed the rungs and siliconed the bottom of the ladder attachments.
It did not appear the attached brackets were leaking but I covered the anyway. Rung slide openings are still visible.
What would ya do on a 405? I liked the ez ups post and I liked the extended 4 rung ladder idea.
Just curious what everyone is doing as an upgrade because I would prefer to not use the original attachments if possible.
Thanks

Re: 405 Swim ladder
This would be a good reason for me getting behind the hot water heater. Pictures from within the back steps area, the exhaust ports, and the ladder mounting area as shown.
It doesn't appear the ladder mounting bolts have had any leaks over the last 22 years. I mentioned damage to the ladder. It wasn't bent, I just couldn't get it to stay up with velcro wrapped around it. This is how I purchased the boat and how I drove it back on the ICW.
In hind sight I probably should have just put a small chain or cable around it with a lock or quick lock clamp.
The mounting area looks solid and now I surmise I should just get another junky ladder to go there.
I don't want to take the boat out of the water since we have nothing here but a crane. So a ladder that will click back into the original holes would be nice.
So your thoughts gentleman?
Does the mounting area look solid to ya?
Lots of dust but I didn't see any leaks.
What type was the original ladder for a 1998 405?
Thanks in advance
Michael
