Swim platform ladder
Does anyone have any ideas for a different setup on a Voyager 320 swim ladder configuration? Oron how to replace it altogether.
Thanks.

Re: Swim platform ladder
I'm wondering if anyone has thought to put a waterproof switch in place so you can tell when the ladder is stowed or not.
It could be wired so that it sets an alarm if the ladder is down and the boat is put in gear (just by tapping into the neutral safety switch). I'm surprised by the number of boats I see cruising with the ladders dangling behind the boat.

Re: Swim platform ladder
Except we're getting older, so I used the four step. Easier to step into when your in deeper water. I also love the spring loaded lock, so you don't have to use a Velcro strap.
I will say , I got mine on Amozon for $79. But it must have been a fluke, because I just cked, and the four step isn't available right now.
Oh, and a ladder down alarm is a great idea ! I left mine down twice this summer, on a 7mile hike back from our favorite beach. I'm an automotive electrician, so it probably won't be hard to figure out!
So, Sam,. Hope our experience with these, helps you figure out what to do.
Happy boating !!!
