boat swim ladder

[James D Liner]

I need to replace my 1989 sea ray 180 OB bow rider swim ladder.
Where can I get one. I have owned the boat since new and it's been great.

What does it look like? Probably need a pic to try and help. Othgerwise, just google or go to a local marine supply store.

Inside width 12 1/4" outside width 13 1/4" 1" Stainless steel two step. I can't find any ladders with these dimensions to fit my supports.

GG Schmitt supplied a lot of the original Sea Ray swim ladders.http://www.ggschmitt.com/ladders.htm

As mentioned, GG is an option... Garelick, Windline, Whitecap and Jif are some other brands you can check into.

Still kinda hard to see exactly what style you have without a pic. Measurements could be describing multiple styles. Also, understand that there's a possibility that you won't find a exact match for a 30-year old boat. You may have to get creative.

That being said, if memory serves, doesn't the ladder just sit on top of a flat platform? Meaning, it doesn't fit into a recessed area, right? If so, just move the mounts or use the new ladder's mounts and install them where they need to be.

I was hoping to avoid new holes. Yes it is a two step and sits flat on the platform. I may have to move the mounts if I cannot find a similar ladder.

If it is a GG Schmitt, they provide a lifetime warranty to the original owner.
