Description
The 3 Step Anodized Aluminum Gunwale 7 in. Hook Ladder by T-H Marine (JIF Marine Products) is engineered for fast, safe water access at marinas, piers, fixed docks, floating docks, seawalls, bulkheads, boat gunwales, and swim platforms. Built using 1" diameter marine-grade anodized aluminum, this corrosion-resistant ladder withstands saltwater, freshwater, humidity, and seasonal changes. The 58° angled climb delivers a near-staircase feel, reducing strain on knees and back compared to vertical rung ladders. Non-skid 2.5" deep/wide contoured poly-coated steps provide superior barefoot-friendly comfort, secure grip, and anti-slip performance in wet conditions. The ladder includes thick vinyl-covered folding gunwale hooks (7" depth) with smooth edges to protect mounting surfaces and prevent scratches. Padded, cushioned stand-offs stabilize the ladder against waves and impact while protecting dock fascia and hull contact areas. Weighing only 8 lbs, this compact design allows easy removal, stow-away storage, and portability without tools. Ships via standard ground freight due to lightweight, compact construction.
