Post by Marc »

Does anyone know of a swim ladder that works for the S2 7.9?

Contact Tops in Quality. They make a very sturdy unit.

But...

Post by Marc »

Is 35 inches really enough to allow someone to climb out of the water and over the transom?

195 came with a ladder that looks like this, but the bottom rung was barely in the water and no one is able to climb up it.

Is there a trick?

I think ours is the 4-step one.
the bottom rung is about 1' under water.

#146 came with a 4 step, bottom step is also about 1ft under water. When folded up bottom step is about even with top of rail.
#264 purchased almost identical unit from West Marine this past spring.
